How do you get a contact's photo to show full-screen when they call?

A friend sees a large full-screen photo of some of his contacts when they call. I only see a small round circle with the name next to it? Is there a setting that makes this happen? Both of us on 5c iPhones with OS 8.

Thanks, RobinD.
I've just  solved it through Apple, but want to share the answer for others. Even with ALL of the near-seamless syncing between my Mac, iPad and iPhone, the only way you get a full screen photo of the person calling your iPhone is if you've assigned a photo ON YOUR PHONE to that contact in your iPhone's contacts app. Doesn't matter that Mac's "contacts" already has a photo that you assigned there before. That photo will only show up as the small round mugshot next to the caller ID UNLESS you duplicate the action of assigning the contact with another photo that's in your phone's collection of shots to the contact's listing in iPhone's "Contacts" app.

  • How do I get my contact's photos to display full screen for incoming calls?

    I noticed today that when I get an incoming call it no longer displays "full screen".  I keep missing calls because it now only displays as a banner at the top of the screen that someone is calling and their photo (if I've assigned one to them) is a tiny thumbnail. 
    Did I only just notice now that this is another 'great upgrade' with the new IOS, or is this some weird glitch with my phone?  I've been wondering how I've been missing calls in the past week, but just happened to catch it today after I had been using the new map app and wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence or if it's somehow connected..? 
    Is there any way to change this or am I stuck with it this way??

    I've never added my contact on my computer, I've always done it through my phone (I didn't know you could do it through the computer).  The problem is not the photo, it's that the call doesn't come in and take up the full screen.  Now when a call comes in, it displays as a banner at the top of the phone where the time and date normally would be, so I don't notice anyone's phoning. 
    As far as I can recall, it's only started happening since yesterday after I used the new map app.  I've checked my notifications settings and the phone settings and so far as I can see, everything is set the same way it always was.  I checked my hubby's phone to see if it's maybe something new since this last update to IOS6, but the call displays full screen (regardless whether the contact has a photo associated to it or not) and not a banner at the top of the screen like mine.
    I still don't know how to change this back.  Any other suggestions?

    Hello User909807,
    After having some close calls with fraudulent purchases on my own bank account, I know how scary it can be to know someone else other than you had your personal information, so it was nice to know my issuing bank was helping keep my identity safe. Having said that, it’s completely understandable why it’d be frustrating to discover you were unable to continue making purchases after confirming your identity via text, and I apologize if this caused any unintentional frustration.
    While I’ll be sure to document your feedback regarding our partnership with Citibank, N.A., please know that they are the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. As such, I will be glad to share your concerns with our Citibank contacts so that they may contact you to discuss your account in further detail. Please know you should receive follow-up contact from them within the next 3-5 business days.

  • How do I get my toolbar and bookmarks to show on screen when I open mozilla foxfire?

    I downloaded the new version of Mozilla foxfire and nothing shows up but the google bar. My toolbar and bookmarks have disappeared! What can I do. Is the old version available?
    what is shockwave flash? what does it do?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

  • How do you get bookmarks selected to appear in the full screen rather than the small window to the left

    When I click on a bookmarked site, some of them show up on the large screen to the right, but mostonly show up in the much smaller window to the left and are therefor useless. this is even when I've opened a new tab. I never had this problem before, but recently received a new computer and this is the result after downloading firefox in this computer.

    hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.

  • How do you get your contacts into groups?

    how do you get your contacts into groups?

    When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
    Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
    Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
    Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
    Repeat as necessary for other groups.
    Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

    How do you get contacts from an Iphone 4s to a PC through Icloud?

    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
    You have to use outlook in order to integrate contacs with PC, since that is the only program that syncs with cloud. Or you can use a "poor man's" version, by accessing those contacts over www.icloud.com website and managing there.
