Hey guys

i have some photos in some of my contacts. But when they call me some of them are full screen and others just a little circle next to the name.

Why is this and how can i fix it?

Thanks

I’ve fixed this before by going to a contact that shows as a circle, edit their contact photo by moving it slightly and saving. Seems to work most times. If not, I try again and that does it.

If you set a contact picture in the phone app you’ll get full screen. If you do it though the photos app you’ll get the small circle at the top.

I’ve always used iCloud on my Mac to get the small circle (which works perfect) but didn’t know about the Photos app. This makes things easier, thanks for the tip!

I tried it that way also, and it still doesn't work.
