Clear or change display picture in bbm

Hi do you know how to clear or change a contacts display picture in bbm? I can edit it in the contacts icon but not in the bbm icon?
thx

That particular contact must change the picture on their end. You can't change it on your end. You can, however, change their display name for your BBM only.

  • Unable to access gallery for changing display picture.

    I am not able to change my display picture to my choice because the only 3 tabs are (default, recent and camera). I do not have access to my gallery to change my dp. Is there any solution to this problem?
    I have been searching online for solutions, but am unable to find any. Kindly help!
    Thank you

    Hello boimoet and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for your question regarding the display photo in BBM.
    Currently the photo cannot be zoomed out for a full display as your profile photo. Only the area displayed in the crop window can be selected for display.
    Hope this helps to clarify.

    Hello,
    Try uninstalling and reinstalling BlackBerry Messenger
    from www.blackberry.com/messenger in your BlackBerry Browser.
    Also if you have Facebook installed remove it then reboot.
    Reinstall BBM from www.blackberry.com/messenger and test again.
    Thank you

  • BBM display picture is blurry! Can not rotate and zoom. Update please

    Hi.. Please help me.. I just bought blackberry q10 but I really don't like how the BBM works. How to fix a blurry display picture on bbm? I'm using blackberry for a long time and I need to share and update my pictures to my family and my friends which are mostly live in another country... Please please fix it.... It can't rotate and zoom too... I tried all pictures to put on my display picture but still blur.. Even the picture I took from Q10 itself which is have 8mp but still blur too.. my friend asked me why my pictures always blur like i took pics with a bad quality camera.. It's not cool thank you before

    This seems to be an issue for some but not others and I haven't yet seen a resolution. It only happens with display pictures. If you send a picture via BBM it should work fine.

  • Display Pictures help please

    Hello, I recently downloaded the latest version of Blackberry Messenger. I have a Blackberry Curve 9300. The display pictures of BBM contacts wont appear on BBM though and they can't see my display picture. Please tell me how to fix this. Also I have the latest software and BBM.

    Here are two public statements RIM has released in regards to the BBM Avatar issue:
    1.BBM Avatars should now be updating in most regions. If you were experiencing issues please try updating your Avatar again.
    2. Some users in APAC (the Asia Pacific area) may be experiencing issues with BBM Avatars not updating. Product teams are aware of this issue and looking into it.
    3. Finally, More information at this RIM Knowledge Base article:
    KB19815 - http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19815
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't change bbm display picture

    Hi I have a blackberry curve 8520. For the past two weeks i haven't been able to change my display pic on my blackberry messenger.
    I have called my phone company and they told me there is nothing they can do. I have tried to take out the battery and reset the phone
    and it still does not change! I am getting really fed up with this phone now its getting ridiculous. Please help me fix this problem that has
    been going on for the past 2 weeks. Everyone on my list can change their pictures except me.

    For the past week there have been many users in the Asia Pacific area such as Malaysia & Indonesia who aren't getting their BBM avatar synced across the network to their friends. Perhaps that is Africa as well.

  • BBM Display Pictures Not Changing

    Hello, the display pictures of some of my contacts have been stuck on a picture for like two weeks now.. I've restarted the phone a couple of times & I deleted and reinstalled the bbm yet its still the same pictures but they have changed their pictures like a million times since then. Help please
    Subject Title edited to reflect new topic.

    The problem has been fixed. I can now change my display picture. I guess it was a temporary problem. You can try yours now, and try it with a display picture different from the one you have...
    I guess the morale of the story is, if multiple people are having these kinda issues, just wait a bit; the folks at RIM will notice & get it fixed.
    Deuces!

  • 9300's BBM PIN usage and unauthorised Display Picture change.

    Good Day.
    On Sunday evening, 2 June, I noticed that my BBM Display Picture and Display name had been changed to a picture of a Ferrari and to /Moola!/.
    As soon as I noticed I changed my display picture and my display name again, the change of name reflected on some of my contacts view of my profile, but the display picture remained on my profile, even after a second attempt on my side to change the Display Picture.
    What could the concern could be, and what steps can be take to rectify this.
    I purchased my Blackberry 9300 new, out of the box.
    If you could provide me with a customer care number to phone would also, would be appreciated.
    I thank you in advance for your urgent assistance in this regard.

    Contact your Vodacom technical support and ask/demand that this issue be escalated up to BlackBerry technical support.
    The only way for this to happen would be for two uses to have identical device PINs on the network, which in the past has been impossible and the network would only allow one of each at a time. PINs are hard coded to devices at the factory.
    I don't know how it could have happened, perhaps tech support can sort it out for you.

  • Q10 bbm display picture frozen/not changing

    Please whats the way forward with the Q10 bbm dp not changing that several users are experiencing? Technical kindly give us an update as several complaints have already been lodged on this forum.

    I have had my Q10 for about 3 months and its been a rocky experience. After about 20-30 call log entries, it begins to mix my contacts. Now I have not been able to change my BBM display picture for over a week. And yet I find there are several threads on the Forum about users having this problem but no solution. Is BB Technical listening?

  • Bbm display picture not changing

    My contacts can seem to view my display picture when I change it. They can view a picture I up loaded two weeks ago. How do I fix this. :-(
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sometimes it can just take a few days for an avatar to update for other friends of yours.
    Tell them to try this:
    Open BBM by tapping the BBM icon on the homescreen
    Navigate to contact showing up as a PIN, either via the BBM Group members list or your BBM Contacts list, and tap their name as if to open a chat conversation with them
    Tap the top bar of the chat window
    You should then see a refresh (looks like a circular icon) icon next to the BBM Video icon on the top right, tap that and the contact's name should appear and it may refresh the avatar.

    Hello Mesh08
    Welcome to http://supportforums.blackberry.com
    Try resetting your BlackBerry
    And check that your profile image change
    If the problem evidences the persistence applies a hard reset
    Hold the power button for 30 seconds.
    With respect to BBM shows you not available in BlackBerry World
    This is because if you look the BBM you can not delete because it is integrated into the operating system.
    Finally I recommend you delete the cache of BlackBerry World.

  • BBM display picture does not update mine nor contacts

    Please assist. I have a BB 8520. I am running version 5.0.0.57. I am having a major issue. My bbm contact display pictures are not changing, nor are my contacts. I deleted my wife to re invite her, when request was accepted,  I ended up with a blue man.   I have reinstalled bbm and I have rebooted. I added myself to my contacts and I appear as a blue man when I actually have up a picture. I have been checking my concerns over the net and quite a few people are having the same issue. Can any one please assist.
    Thanks

    Hey BRO9220,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    How many BlackBerry Messenger contacts are currently on your BlackBerry?  If over 100, I would suggest lower to less than 90 and see if the avatars update.
