Unable to add photo id to contacts

[AC Question]

Just bought a lenovo A816 (second hand) and have tried to include a photo as ID without success.In the Gallery, I select a pic "to contact photo", tap on the particular person in list of contacts, the photo comes on screen again, click save but the photo fails to appear.

A couple of years ago I had the same situation. I couldn’t add photos to my contacts on Galaxy s because all of my contacts were automatically saved on my sim card. The contacts should be stored on the phone itself – otherwise some phones are not able to add options to contacts – additional personal info, pics or ringtones. Check your settings – it may help you solve the problem.
