How do I add avatars to iMessage? (They were all lost when my OS was upgraded.)

My OS was recently upgraded to Sierra, and my iMessages had to be reloaded. I used to have avatars for each of my contacts, but that disappeared and I see no way of adding them. I used to enjoy that. Help!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 11.1.1

Hello arlene142,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you would like to add a picture for your contacts on your MacBook Pro. I would be happy to point you towards a resolution.

Here's a resource that could help:

Add or change contact pictures on Mac - Apple Support

When you add a picture to the contact cards in the Contacts app, this will also reflect in other apps such as Messages.

Cheers!
