What's App Contact Pictures

[Android Central Question]

On What's App for Android I used to have my default picture for a contact appear in What's App if the contact didn't have one of their own in their profile. I can't tell if it was an update to the app, or my S9 upgrade to 9.0, but now half my What's App contacts have the blank picture for their contact (only in the app, they have a picture assigned in my address book). What changed?

My OCD is flaring up like a tiki torch, with all the blanks.

I am having the exact same problem, and the same reaction. I’m losing my mind. Somebody help.
