Why has this particular Avatar disappeared every time I leave, and then return to, the Settings option?

Ah, so that is the browser view! :)


I found 163 files it could possibly be, most likely...


/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ABAssistantChangelog.aclcddb-shm


But...


To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...


Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?

I have now reviewed > iCloud > Options > and > iCloud > Settings > via 3 Users, on two devises, BDAqua, and the result is the same. Upon return, the chosen avatar has disappeared from the Settings display, but remains on the Options display!



I am inclined to agree with your opinion therefore DBAqua, that it is down to Apple, and, it is supposed to be that way ................. maybe!


Is there a way of approaching Apple directly, for clarification on this matter?

I have ........................ dropped Apple a wee note BDAqua:



Dear Apple,


if I change my avatar at > iCloud > Settings > it displays at > iCloud > Options > and other locations, E.G. Contacts, so that is just fine.


However, if I log-out from iCloud, and relog-in, to Settings, or even if I simply refresh the Settings display, it has disappeared; although it continues to display at > iCloud > Options > and other locations


Is this what should happen?

I will let you know if I get a response!
