If you’re running the beta version of Google Messages, you might have observed something strange. Don’t worry — you’re not going crazy. There appears to be a bug in the latest update that is causing contact photos to not show up in chat threads.
The issue was brought up by Reddit user Typicalg123 in r/GoogleMessages. Though users can still view their contact photos in the Contacts app, it looks like the images only briefly show when you tap a conversation before defaulting back to the original monogram. From the Reddit discussion, another user, u/Jmerse, states that the bug only seems to affect contacts who use an iPhone.
