Ran out of support posts..

Avatar set by contact should override android Contacts Provider (system address book)

Provide an option for user preference of order like analogous Pix-Art messenger does for xmpp.

Image I set for her > avatar she uploads to her account > my contact for her in my phone

I prefer the updating avatar from people who change it around weekly or whenever whimsy strikes.

afaik, this is the case currently. i am skeptical wrt to an option, this would make multi-device even more complicated, and result in complicated ux questions. so i would not target that before the other, much more pressing multi-device-sync questions are solved.

also here, this should be discussed in the forum, also at is not only affects android.
