Forum Thread: iMessage Profile Pic or Avatar Not Working in iOS 13

I couldn't find an answer for this anywhere, but the iMessage profile pic or avatar is not working in iOS 13. I have followed all the instructions to create a photo or avatar to share with your contacts but it never sticks. After I change it, I'll go back into the settings or via the message app and it's back to my initials. Can't figure out a way to get it to stick. Anyone else having issues with this?
