Some contacts have photos because they are photosensitive. This means that they can be affected by light. Some people have difficulty seeing in the dark, for example. So, when those people add photos to their contacts, they can make them easier to find. Additionally, some people like to share photos with their contacts.
Preface
Some contacts on Android phones have photos embedded in them, because the phone can use the camera to take a photo of the person and then use that photo as their contact photo.
Can Someone See Their Contact Photo Android
Android users can’t see their contact photos on their devices. Those photos are only meant for the phone itself. Android users can’t see them, and other people can’t see them either.
