Profile pictures are low-risk compared to things like login details or bank info. That said, PayPal doesn’t look at one change in isolation it looks at patterns. Frequent edits, especially after other account changes, can raise questions. The safest assumption is that any change adds a little attention, even small ones.

Short answer: Yes, it can still flag the account.

Yes, changing any account detail - including profile picture - can trigger a review on a stealth PayPal account, as it deviates from the established pattern. PayPal's risk system monitors for sudden changes in account behavior. To minimize risk, update details sparingly and during periods of normal transaction activity, not after a long dormancy.
