Okay so this is a weird one - for a FEW of my contacts, primarily my one daughter, I cannot, no matter what I do, update her contact photo.

I've tried using the stock ios 17 install as well as the beta, and I've tried this on my iPhone and iPad, but every time I go into our contacts and then "Contact Photo & Poster" then try to select "Update Automatically" - it freezes.

I can't do anything.

I've had it a FEW times pop up with "Update to new photo" but it doesn't work

Actually I'm having a ton of issues with other contacts, too. One person it says "recent photo update" but it doesn't show me a recent photo, at all. I have no clue what the heck to do to troubleshoot this without wiping my devices. And even then!
 
In case any other poor soul comes across this issue, I fixed it.

Doing so, I had to basically recreate the contact and delete the old one.

Now it works just fine!
