Two iPhones, one account. Can I have a different poster for each iPhone?

I have two iPhones, one is an 13 Pro, the other is an 11 Pro. Both are running iOS 18.0.1. Both are on the same Apple account. One has phone number XXX.YYY.ZZZZ. The other has phone number XXX.AAA.BBBB. I would like to use a different contact photo (poster) on each so that if each of the two iPhones calls the same person, the photo (poster) will be the one associated with the phone number that the call is made from. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

Didn't work. Since both iPhones are on the same account, I cannot choose a different contact for sharing. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and set up another Apple ID for the second phone.

Thank you for trying!!

Hopefully these two iPhones are used exclusively by you and you are not sharing an Apple Account.

Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple Account - Apple Support

Choose a different “My Card” at Settings > Apps > Contacts > My Info on each iPhone to achieve your objective.

You should be able to. Go to Settings/Apps/Messages and choose a different contact for sharing. One thing to keep in mind is that it is OK for 2 devices to have the same Apple ID, however it will cause problems if the devices are used by different people→Make sure that each family member has a unique Apple ID - Apple Support
