Profile picture not changing on iPhone 16 Pro

Attempting to change my profile picture. It shows my name and picture at the top. I tap on the picture and it takes me to a screen that shows the picture and offers a CUSTOMIZE option. I select the image I want and then tap the CHOOSE and the CHECK to complete. However, the image in my profile does not change. iPhone 16pro and up to date.
