How do I update my contact poster/photo for others to see on iPhone?

I have changed my own contact poster/photo in my card however when people call me they can see the old one from 2 years ago..? I’m at a loss as to how to rectify this and I’ve tried two different times and nothing works…any ideas??

Open the Contacts app > Tap your name in the top > Tap Edit in the top-right corner > Tap Edit once more > From there you can edit your Avatar and poster that others see when you call. Also on that same page, you'll want to scroll down and tap Share Automatically to Contacts Only. Rather than asking you to share with each contact, it will automatically do so.


Keep in mind that once you do that, it will update for others. But, if certain people already have a profile picture/poster set for you, or choose not to update to your new one, they will still see the old one.
