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

I replied to OP with a workaround that just worked for me today. It's finicky but if you mess around with the general concept it might work.

There is no Users & Groups on IPhone

This helped! Only thing is it changed the dp on my Mac but it did not change it on my iPad .

Another thing that happens is if I click on edit on my profile picture on my Mac and change the picture and hit save, it changes it on my iPad but doesn't change it on the Mac.

I have the same exact problem no matter how many times I tried changing it with these tips they never worked and so I hope this helps it’s actually quite simple all you have to do is go to the contacts app and go to your contact not a contact you want to change your contact/Apple ID and click edit in the top right corner and pick out your photo and it should set and stay you may have to put in a screen time password if you have one but this is what worked for me :)

I put the fix for the iPhone as well. In order for settings screen where your Apple ID is on top and the actual Apple ID page to sync you have to be on a cellular network or WiFi. Clicking on your Apple ID picture can be changed offline but you need to be online for it to sync with Apple’s network.

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?

I just found the menu option. I have a new icon if I could only remember how I got there. I was just poking around.

click on your icon.

Could be like other websites. Are they just trying to frustrate me?

My girlfriend was having the same problem as all of you and would have rather smashed her brand new iPhone 15 than not be able to change her initial photo. If I took a picture however and assigned that to the photo it would save it, so I came up with the idea to do the initials and color you want then screenshot it and use the photo as the initial photo but crop it to the circle. Worked fine and ended the death fight we were in the middle of. She was then happy and asked for a grilled cheese. (True story) goodluck fellas.

This worked for me thanks

It works. After that, you have to close and open all the APP. Thanks
