I just got a brand new Samaung s7 and updated my personal profile/contact info with my own image and medical info. However, my picture doesn't show up in my text messages. I can see theirs, but not my own. Not even a grey image stock photo. It is just empty ... it doesn't even have space for where a photo might go. It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out how to get my personal photo to show. Why is it not showing? Did they remove this option? I am linked to my Google account as well, so it isn't that. My roommate has the A5 and her photo displays in her text message threads. What's going on ... ?
