Hi all!

 

Just bought an S21 Ultra recently and found that when trying to enable Profile Picture Sharing from the Contacts app it just spins and spins. I can leave it for 20 min (I have) and it won't enable. I'm forced to go back which disables it.

 

Did a live chat and they were pretty useless. 45 min wasted for them to just suggest clearing the cache and removing and re-adding my Samsung account. Which didn't help.

 

Anyone encounter this?

Are you enabling It through contact settings? Did they get you to clear the contacts app Cache or your devices Cache? But yes, im able to turn it on, my contacts version is 12.1.10.34. You can find it in contacts > Settings > about to see if it's a version problem

Yes, I was trying to enable through the contact settings. I also did clear the contact app's cache which didn't help.

 

My version appears newer. I have 12.1.10.43

 

But I don't know if this is the reason why.

Only thing I can think of is that it's a bug with the newer version. Maybe let the moderator below know about ut

Hi Samsung_Nb1D2Hm,

As mentioned by Brando, please check that the app is updated to the latest version and If you did not perform the Wipe Cache Partition of the device, then I suggest you Wipe the cache partition of your phone and check.

I've been facing this error for 6 months and thank goodness, I fixed it today. Go to Settings - Apps - Find Group sharing apps. Then clear data or cache of the app. If it is not yet, uninstall the update of the app by clicking on the right corner 3 dots.

How long did you have to wait for the contact profiles to come up
