Share Name & Photo

No matter how many times I change the photo I still can’t get it to change in the messages app when I text a new contact/number. How can I fix this issue?

Friend Updates His Messages Photo & Contact Number. I Accept. It Keeps Asking Me to Accept Over & Over One of my friends on Messages updated his contact photo and his name. I accepted it by clicking on the drop down menu, and clicked "Accept Photo and Contact" or something to that effect. Then, every time I open the Message app, even though I've accepted the new photo (which does appear) and accepted the new name (which also appears) it continues to ask me to update changes. It is very annoying. What is going on?

iPhone messages asks if I want to update a contacts name and photo So I understand that this is an iCloud thing and that the person sending me the message has name and photo sharing turned on so anyone with their contact saved on iPhone can easily update contact info if it changes. However some people have only their first names saved whereas I like to save the contacts first and last names. This means every time I get a message from them I get an annoying box open up at the top of the message screen asking to update the info and if I want to maximise my screen space for the message thread, I have to close down that box. Also, I have a contact saved as ‘Mum’ which I’d like to keep as such and not update it to ‘Ronnie ***’ … I prefer to call her mum so as you can see, it’s very frustrating that I can’t turn off mums name and photo sharing from my end while she can continue sharing it with everyone else. Unless there is a way?? [Edited by Moderator]

Please see the pic below which is self-explanatory.
