I already have a contact picture for this contact, but I want to replace it with the one in my address book. How do I do that?
Depending on the chat network, this can happen automatically. However, some chat networks require you to do this in their own apps, before Beeper can receive the information. In the event that a contact already has a profile picture in the chat network, Beeper will always prioritize that picture, over the one in your address book.
