Apple ID photo won’t change on settings, iCloud.com, and “Name & Photo” setting on Messages in settings.

I want to change my apple id photo from a memoji to my normal photo. However, when i try to, it appears for a second, then when I leave and see it again, it reverts to my memoji apple ID photo. I was able to change my contact photo, not apple id photo. I tried restarting, signing out, kicking signed in sessions and logging in again, nothing works. Please help

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

Are u serious lol you have to do that in order for it to show up after spending that much money. Not even that their whole thing is if you get all apple devices you can sync without much effort so cmon lol this is a little off topic but still same thread….. remember my old macbook pro and the way it used to store files. Even the cloud, it was so much easier to navigate. When I dragged a song into itunes thats where the file was. Itunes. It was so simple to keep ur information organized. Tags and colors only made it worse for people who are “messy organized”. I know sooooo many people who are 10xs more tech savy and had no idea that Icloud was automatically taking things off his computer and unloading it for him until he opened one of those files and it started to download lol. Go to your storage and it shows you how much space is being taken up and by what well it least it’s supposed to. It leaves out a huge chunk that are all caches and left overs from things that like PC users know not mac users. Mac users dont know code we know oh it connects its easy fast I love it I want it. Now I have to start learning to teach my GPT to code. For mac?
