Where on iPhone 11 are you seeing this exactly?


If its for your Apple ID, it happens when you have not assigned a picture to your profile. In which case it will use your initial for it instead of a photo. You can add a photo to your Apple ID in Settings ➜ Apple ID. Tap on the letter to change it and add a photo.
