How To Make A Contact Picture Bigger On Iphone

swarmofbees

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well and healthy.

I've been using iPhone's for as long as I can remember, currently rocking the iPhone 12 for the last 6 months.

I can't get the iPhone to show me a BIG picture from contacts when I receive a call. It shows only a microscopic picture with the name of the contact next to it, and a slider to answer the call. The rest of the screen shows the wallpaper in a faded mode.

I have the banner activated so when I'm using the iPhone and someone calls me I have the banner pop up instead of the full screen call, but when the phone is locked it was supposed to show the big picture... right?

At least my girlfriend gets this functionality in her iPhone 11.

I've tried changing the contact picture, I have chosen my contacts to be mainly synched with iCloud instead of Gmail, nothing seems to fix it.

Any thoughts on this? Am I missing something? It's extremely annoying.

Hey guys,

I tried absolutely everything that you guys mentioned and it still doesn't work. So incredibly annoying. Any other workaround ?

I have the same issue with some, but not all contacts. For some time this was a problem with contacts synced from Google (they changed the picture to a smaller version and synced it back). Nor sure if this is still a problem, but some contact pics still don't show up in full screen.

I've changed my contact sync from Gmail to ICloud, didn't work. I changed the contact photo multiple times, doesn't work. I can't get this to work anyway I try. So annoying

Yep, same here.... some contacts don't show in full screen for me too. I've given up ;-)

For me none of them work!! Not even 1.
I would be happy if I managed to get at least my gf to show the full pic

If I could tell you how, I definitely would 😆
