Apple ID photo is not updating.

I have tried to update my photo for my contact and it is still showing an old photo when I share it. My apple ID when I log in is correct, my phone is correct but when I share it is an old photo.

Hi lmitch1111,


We would like to see if we can help resolve the issue for you. Let's go ahead and try removing it completely from a location other than the Contacts app, then adding the new photo to see if that resolves the issue for you.


  1. Go to Settings
  2. Messages
  3. Share Name and Photo
  4. Tap on the silhouette photo
  5. Tap the X on the photo
  6. Done


Then follow the same steps to go back and add the new photo. We tested this on our own devices, and following this path worked for us. Please let us know how it goes.


Cheers!
