Not able to delete contact photos on ios 17

Hi gaauuthaam,

It is the same steps as these, but when you go to chose the photo, you can just select the option that has the contact initials, this will remove the photo:

1. "Tap a contact, then tap Edit.
2. Enter or update their contact information.
3. When you’re finished, tap Done."

You can find these steps along with other information that may be helpful, here:
