Change Contact Photo on iPhone in iOS 18 or Later
Though Contact Poster is nice, I don’t think it will appeal to everyone’s taste. Folks, who adore low-profile, may not be swayed by the hype. Besides, it’s also good to have the flexibility to separately customize the contact photo.
- First off, open the Contacts app on your iPhone and then tap on the contact card at the top.
- After that, tap on Contact Photo & Poster.
- Then, tap on the Edit button at the bottom of your current contact poster.
- Next, tap on the Customize button at the bottom.
- Next up, choose Contact Photo in the popup menu.
- On the next screen, you will get an option to choose from Photos, Memoji, Emoji, or Monogram. Select any of these options depending on your preference. In this guide, I’m going to select an image from my camera roll and set it as my contact photo.
- Once you have selected the desired photo from your photo library, perfectly adjust the image. Moreover, you can also choose a suitable style for the image. After that, tap on Next at the top right and confirm the change.
That’s pretty much it! Your selection will come into action straight away. Now that you know how it’s done, change your contact photo as and when the need arrives with ease.

Having scanned the entire address book, the Apple Contacts app automatically shows all the duplicate contacts. Therefore, you can easily find all the redundant contacts and choose to merge or delete the useless ones.
