- Google Messages could soon let users set a profile photo for their contacts once again.
- This comes after Messages gained a Profile Discovery feature that overrode any locally set contact images in favor of a contact’s Google account photo.
Google recently introduced a Profile Discovery feature in Google Messages, which shows people your name and profile photo when they add you via your phone number. Unfortunately, this feature forces everyone to see your Google account photo in the messaging app rather than their own preferred image. Thankfully, it looks like Google will address this issue in the near future.
