How to delete profile picture from Apple ID in iOS?

I am trying to delete the profile picture attached to my Apple ID and revert to the default letters. It will only let me choose another photo. There is no way to delete and leave it blank. How do I do this?

iPhone XR, iOS 13

Hey there AbeFroman_,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having issues removing your profile pic on your iPhone. I’ll be happy to help.


How are you attempting to change this? Open the Contacts app and tap on your card. You can scroll to the top to get to this. Tap Edit in the top corner and then Edit underneath your profile pic. Mine had the letters showing there as an option under suggestions. If you don’t see that, tap Edit under the photo once more and you can delete any photos until the initials appear. 


Regards.
