AirDrop avatar?

Hello everyone,

this may be silly question but how can i set my own avatar picture for AirDrop?

I read some forums and some said to create a personal contact in in the "contacts" app on my iPhone 5s with my name and the picture i wanted and then go in "settings > mail, contact & calendar > my info" and select the contact i created with the picture i wanted. I did all that but still nothing.

The weird this is that this happens on my MacBook Pro too, and this has my account with my picture obviously because is the main and only account on my computer.

What can i do?

Thanks

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3
