In this guide, we will show you the steps to fix the issue of Contact Photos not appearing on iOS 17. The latest iOS 17 build brings in quite a few goodies with itself. While the list is quite long, but if we were to keep our attention to a few noteworthy ones, then we could count on the likes of updates to Messages, Phone, and FaceTime, Interactive widgets, Standby Mode, and Contact Posters.
If we talk about the latter one, then the feature allows you to customize how your contact card appears when calling someone. For many, it looks quite impressive from the UI/UX point of view and adds a refreshing touch to their device. Up until now, you only had the option to add photos to your contacts in your address book, which is quite minimal, to say the least.
Unfortunately, for many, even this Contact Photos feature is not working along the expected lines right after updating their device to the latest iOS 17. According to the affected users, these contact photos no longer appear when they make or receive a phone call. If you are also in the same boat, then this guide will help you out. Follow along for the fix.
