I already have a contact picture for this contact, but I want to replace it with the one in my address book. How do I do that?

Depending on the chat network, this can happen automatically. However, some chat networks require you to do this in their own apps before Beeper can receive the information. If a contact already has a profile picture in the chat network, Beeper will always prioritize that picture over the one in your address book.
