WhatsApp is the most used application in the world and has become an essential part of every smartphone. In this post we explain how you can change the profile photo of your WhatsApp contacts to identify them more easily.
The application WhatsApp allows you to choose your profile photo, this will be the photo that will be shown to the rest of the users that you they have as a contact The application does not offer the possibility of changing the photo that appears associated with your contacts, so you will not be able to put the one you want, at least without resorting to a simple trick that we are going to explain.
Learn how to change the photo of your WhatsApp contacts
Many times our WhatsApp contacts choose photos for their profile that are not very representative of the person in question, this is something that can lead to confusion if you have several contacts with similar names. We explain how you can change the profile photo of your WhatsApp contacts to identify them more easily
The first step is choose the photo that we want to assign to our contact. It can be any photo, but we recommend that it be in JPG format, since the application may give you problems with other formats.
Once you have the photo ready, you need to go to the folder where the photos of your WhatsApp contacts are stored. This folder is usually /sdcard/WhatsApp/Profile Pictures The photos of the contacts whose profile picture you have visited within the WhatsApp application are stored in this path.This means that photos of contacts you haven't visited before won't appear.
Once you have accessed this folder, you will see all the profile photos of your WhatsApp contacts. The next step is to locate the photo of the contact you want to change, once done, you have to replace it with the new photo you want to put. Note that the new image has to have the same name as the original, otherwise it won't work. If the photos don't appear, try viewing the profile photo of the contact in question. After that it should appear without problems.
Once you've done that, your WhatsApp contact photo should have changed. To check it, open the application again and look for your contact, if everything went well you should see the photo you just put.
