Apple ID/Profile Picture

My profile picture is duplicating to my sons contact information on my phone. He has his own Apple ID but is in my family sharing. When I assign my picture to my apple ID it assigns it to his contact on my phone as well, even when I go in and edit his contact. When I edit his contact information that pictures then is assigned to mine. Any help would be appreciated :-)

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Daughter's iCloud image changes mine Hi, Just set up my daughter's new phone and signed her in with her own Apple ID which is linked with family sharing. Whenever she changes her iCloud contact image, this also changes mine on my phone and other devices, even though I'm signed in under a different Apple ID. Have tried restarting, ensuring contact cards are all set correctly and these have our own images on but these are also weirdly linked. Any thoughts please?

Missing pictures after changing Apple ID Long story short, when my family first started using Apple products we all shared one Apple ID. As things got complicated we have slowly created new Apple IDs for our children but my husband and I still shared. Lately it seemed like our calls and texts were all jumbled together so I decided to sign out of the shared Apple ID on my phone and create a new Apple ID for myself but remain on the family sharing plan. It seemed to work fine (other than I needed up with many duplicate contacts and my calendar events were duplicated) but when I look closer, many of my pictures are not on my phone anymore and I’m not sure if they are in the cloud either! Please advise. I’m NOT technically savy.

In his Contacts app, whose card is designated as My Card?
