How do I change my default photo on Airdrop?

Hello support,


I've been trying to fix this problem for awhile. When my phone pops up on Airdrop, I see a photo I want to change. No matter how many times I change my iCloud default photo, the photo stays the same.


This continues with email as well and other services. How do I change the image that pops up when my iPhone appears on Airdrop?


Any help is greatly appreciated.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 12

It's not clear to me what "iCloud default photo" means.


I use iCloud contacts on all my Apple devices. When I use AirDrop, the person's photo I have associated with that contact appears with their device.
