Both of my kids have iPhones and Ipads. We have family link/sharing. All devices are signed into each individual’s Apple ID, however when my kids change their profile pic my contact pic changes in their respective devices. I don’t have the issue on my phone.
iPhone SE (3rd generation)
Hello brigid247,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Allow us to share some information with you. According to this resource here: Change your Apple ID photo on iCloud.com - Apple Support
It states the following information:
Your Apple ID photo appears on your iCloud.com homepage and in Settings (on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) or System Settings or System Preferences (on your Mac). If you’re part of a Family Sharing group, others in the family can see your Apple ID photo in their list of family members.
According to this resource, if they update their profile picture via their Settings menu, it will update for family members to see as well.
We hope this information is useful. Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Take care.

I believe you misunderstood the issue, or I wasn’t clear. To be more specific: if my children change their respective photos, my photo changes to the same photo. So on their respective devices their photos and mine are the same. We are somehow linked together.
I deleted everything. Reset it all and it seemed to work.
When you say you deleted everything, would you be able to quickly summarize what you did? I have the same issue - I have reset the kid's iPads, logged them out, back in, etc. and it appears the kids are still "linked" to my account.
I have same problem. My grandsons profile picture on his Ipad is my picture and when he uses text or facetime it notifys other that it might be grandma and shows my picture (organizer=grandma) . I think this is a bug. I have tried everything and nothing works. I wish Apple would fix it.
I am also having the same issue. How did you reset it? Thanks!
Hello,
i have the same issue, what should we do in this situation? Update the profile picture of the child account from iCloud.com and not in settings ?? Thank you,
Hi Bridge247. I just updated my daughter's phone and now it is happening. Did you ever get it resolved on your end?
Thank you,
Kevin
