Does the iPhone SE display contact pictures in iMessage like the iPhone 6s and 7?

I remember a couple of weeks ago My iMessage displayed contact photos next to my contact names. Now, it only shows their name even when I add their contact photo. I placed their phone to "iPhone" and still no change. I have a iPhone SE and remember a time where my iMessage was similar to the 6s. Can somebody please help me and tell me why it changed. And if so, how can I change it back?

There have been a couple of discussions about this very same issue recently and according to a couple of knowledgable, high level ASC members, the feature was removed from all phones except the larger screen iPhone 6 and iPhone 7.


However, I was in a discussion with another high level, knowledgeable ASC member and his iPhone 5s still shows the contact photos. My iPhone 5s does not show the contact photos.
