How do I change my contact picture on iMessage?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To change your contact picture on iMessage, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap on the “Contacts” tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Scroll down until you find your own contact entry in the list.
4. Tap on your contact entry to open it.
5. Tap on the Edit button located below your profile image.

At this point, you have a few options to choose from when it comes to selecting a new photo for your contact picture.

1. Take a Photo: Tap on the camera icon to take a new photo using your device’s camera. This is a great option if you want to capture a fresh image to use as your contact picture.

2. Choose from Photos: Tap on the photo icon to select an existing photo from your device’s photo library. This allows you to choose any picture you have saved on your device as your contact picture.

3. Choose from iCloud: If you have synced your contacts with iCloud, you can also select a photo from your iCloud account. This is useful if you have a specific photo saved in your iCloud that you want to use as your contact picture.

After selecting a photo, you can adjust the position and size of the image by using the pinch-to-zoom gesture. Make sure to position the photo in a way that you are happy with how it will appear as your contact picture.

Once you are satisfied with your new contact picture, tap on the Done button to save your changes. Your new photo will now be displayed as your contact picture in iMessage.

It’s worth noting that changing your contact picture in iMessage will also change it in other apps and services that use your contact information, such as the Phone app and FaceTime.

Changing your contact picture on iMessage is a simple process that can be done within the Messages app. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily select a new photo from your device’s camera roll, iCloud, or take a new photo to use as your contact picture.
