Many
iPhone users are not able to set profile picture of a contact to full screen
when they receive or make calls to them. AS while setting a profile photo in
iPhone X only a small circle size photo is shown for incoming calls. It seems
that full screen caller id not possible in iOS 11 for iPhones X and iPhone 8 plus.

| iphone X how to show full screen profile for calls |
What is
more interesting with setting iPhone contact profile picture is shown for only
few incoming calls only and later on iPhone stops showing contact profile
picture on full screen. If you assign a contact photo and an incoming call is
received from the contact, the picture is shown as full screen only for the
first time. Whereas from second time onwards, the picture is just shown as a
thumbnail image. Sometimes, this is the case even for the first time incoming
call. The problem is mostly faced with iPhone X as the older iPhone 5s keep
showing full screen profile picture for contact on iOS 11. Whereas the
iPhone X is not showing full screen contact picture on iOS 11.4.
In this
post we will discuss how to set full screen profile photo for iphone X contacts
for call screen in iOS 11 :
Fix 1: Select image
by camera roll
From
your camera roll, choose the photo you want for the contact and assign it. Then
it shows up full screen when they call. If you assign the photo from their
contact info, then it shows up as a round thumbnail.
Fix 2 : Use iCloud
contacts
Many
iPhone X users faced the issue with google contacts only. So please test by
stopping sync with gmail contacts from Google and started using iCloud contacts
only and issue may get fixed and you will start to see the contact profile pic
on full screen. and it worked. Not sure
if that was the problem, however it solved my issue.
Fix 3 : Edit the contact
details
Make a
slight edit to the photo for the contact that you want to change. Any edit at
all should work like making it slightly smaller, a little larger, moving it
slightly. After saving the edit, you should get a full screen photo instead of
the little photo in the circle.
