How to disable the Contact Poster feature in Contacts and Phone app

And, to be clear, I have brought this issue up directly to Apple, and Apple couldn't care less if they tried about the subject.

Apple is not going to make a change just for you. If you submit feedback using the above feedback link, it gets collated with all the other feedback on the subject. The more people who submit feedback, the more likely Apple is to consider changes.

I didn't read the rest of the block of text you posted. It's worth considering the utility of paragraphs in future.

I haven’t iPhone 14 Pro and I absolutely detest this new feature called contact POSTER. (the standard photo circle was sufficient).

it’s so annoying and you are forced to make a decision on a background of your contact when just the contacts printed name was sufficient!

So I’m relegated by force to create a background for a poster contact that just gets in the way visually so I’m left with just using a single color because all the other choices, photo, etc. disrupt visually being able to see the contact name of the person or business You’re trying to connect with.

PLEASE APPLE give us an option on how to avoid the contact poster feature or get rid of it all together.

I took your advice ~ customize photo doesn't eliminate the poster and only offers monogram . Customize poster makes them both the same !

Now it's screwed up and I can't figure out how to put it back . 🤷‍♀️

Hi there ,

I found some information about the poster issue . This article tells you how to remove your own poster , for others you can replace their posters with photos .

This Contacts app has been around for ten years and was given excellent reviews in the App Store.

You can change the setting only on individual contacts, not en masse.

Who on Earth thought this was a good Idea.

I Detest the new poster feature.

It is simply awful!

Give me a way to DISABLE IT!

I completely agree about the contact poster being terrible. Apple needs to provide a way to disable it for those of us who do not want it.

Contact poster on iphone...awful idea. How do I get rid of this?

These are features designed to enhance usability. They are what they are. You still retain control over your data and it is not used without your consent; hence being asked.

LOL.

LOL.

Look in accessories or in the settings for phone or contacts might be something in there to turn off
