No picture when contacts call.

When I call someone I get a little tiny picture that I assigned the contact up in the corner.
But when the contact calls me , no picture shows up.
I would like for their picture to take up the screen.
I have a iPhone 4. I am on iOS 7.1.2.

How do I get a full ID picture when contact calls?

How do I get a full contact picture on the screen when I get a call? I used to get it and know I get a small round picture.
I've tried going to edit picture but no luck.

You don't. It's a design change in iOS 7.1. you can join the legions of people that seem to be unhappy with the change by communicating your dislike for it at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

I updated my iphone to ios 7.1.1 and after that my contact photo when i call or call others to me is a small cycle of that picture i choose ... How can i make a big picture when i call my contant and when others call me ?

It's not clear why Apple made this change; speculation (which is not really allowed in these forums) is that it was done to protect the privacy of the caller.

How to set images to your contacts to see their picture when there calling? Like their facebook picture.

You can manually add a photo to each contact on your iPhone - from an existing photo of the contact on your iPhone or capture a photo of the contact when together. Or add a photo for each contact in the address book app on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone followed by a sync.
For FaceBook check this link, which I found with a Google search.

With the update of ios 7.1 is there a way to get the picture when someone calls you to show bigger?

I updated my phone yesterday to the new ios 7.1 and now when ppl call the picture is smaller. Is there a way to make it bigger where it takes up the whole screen again?

If your iPod Touch is a first generation, then yes, iOS 3.1.3 is the highest you can go with it. Use this article to help you determine what generation iPod Touch you have.

Otherwise, you may need to update your iTunes to a later version. However, in order to update, your computer must meet the minimum requirements to upgrade to the newer version.

Iphone4,upgrade to IOS7.1.2. Photos associated with contacts display as thumnails when receiving calls. How do I change to full photo?l

IPhone4 Upgraded to IOS 7.1.2. Photos associated with Contacts now display as thumbnail pictures when receiving calls . How do I enlarge display.

You weren't the only one that wanted the full screen photos back. There were a lot of complaints and they are back in iOS 8 but that doesn't help you with iOS 7.1.2 unfortunately.

Pictures in contacts

i get wrong pictures for my contacts. when i change, delete,.. them on my desktop (osx 10.9) i get totally other versions on my ios devices ( ipad air w ios 7 and phone ios5). seems to me, that the pictures dont get synced properly. any help?

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
You will need to add a photo to a contact from the iPhone vs the computer. This will then allow you to see a bigger picture when the caller calls you. Currently since they originate from address book it is default to smaller picture. If you sync these pictures to iPhone then assign them to a contact from the iPhone itself it will produce a larger photo.

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone call

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone calls? I know this seems trivial but I have difficulty seeing, so one of the reasons I actually purchased this phone was for this feature. When the photos do come up they come up in the top right corner in small boxes / windows. I already google'd this topic and they suggested importing the photos - to itunes and than directly on to the iphone, I did this and it didn't work. Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either. I looked in settings and could not find anything that discussed this issue. Although I do believe I have seen iphones that ring with large pictures. Am i Crazy?

You aren't crazy.
Adding the photo to contacts on the computer gets you the smaller pix when people call.
Assign the photo on the phone itself and you get full-size pix.
Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either.
So, that certainly should work. Try it again? Try it with a brand new contact, maybe it is not overwriting a previously existing picture.
I suppose there is a small possibility that Apple thought this differing behavior was a bug instead of a feature and "fixed" it with a recent update, but I doubt it.

Contact Picture when phone is ringing.

I have a question I need assistance with. My iPhone when receiving calls are only showing my contact pictures in thumbprint and not in full size. How can I can that?

This is a change that came about with iOS 7.1. There is no change that can be done. You may provide feedback to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Contact Picture Durring a call

Its not that important, im just curious
I remember in the commercials for iphone, when they made a call, the person's picture was small and in the upper right hand corner with the wallpaper still there taking up most of the screen.
Usually when i make a call, the picture takes up the whole screen. Cept i just called a friend of mine and it did the small picture thang. anyone know why it would change back and forth?
thanks

It depends how the photo get assigned to the contact.
If you take a photo on the iPhone and assign it to a contact you get the full screen version as it uses the photo from the iPhone photo library. This is also true for any contacts that use an existing photo from the iPhones photo library that you have transferred via iTunes.
If you assign a photo to a contact on your computer and then sync the contact over to the iPhone then only a small version of the photo is attached to the contact details. Hence you only see the small photo when they call.
If you want big photos then assign photos to contacts on the iPhone.
If you want small photos then assign photos to your contacts on your computer and sync to the iPhone.

No, this was a new feature that was added to IOS 7.
This might change back to full screen when IOS 8 is released.

Photos in contacts display differently when incoming call

G'day people
Most of my contacts in the Address Book have photos and, of course, they imported together with other contact details when I plugged my iPhone into my iMac. However, what's strange is that some photos display full screen when that contact calls me and other photos just display a small picture next to the contact's name. Anybody have any idea why?
I notice that if I take a photo on the iPhone and assign it to a contact, that photo will always display full screen.
Cheers
Al

Yes, that's what I thought as well. However, there are pictures that I assigned to contact on the computer that display full screen when that contact calls as well as full screen for those contacts where I took the and assigned the photos on the iPhone itself.

Contact picture in a call.

My girlfriend just solved a problem that has plagued me for a while. The problem was that whenever someone would call me, their contact photo would appear as a thumbnail in the top right hand corner instead of full screen. I had been assigning photos to contacts via the photo application, which is a normal thing to do. If, however, I go into the "Contacts" application and then choose to "Edit" their photo that way, then whenever they call their photo will appear full sized. I had talked to an Apple rep about this the other day and he was no help. If an Apple representative reads this then please take note for future users with this problem.

Ok I have FOUND the solution! I called apple regarding this issue and they were no help. I tried a few things and found the problem and solution.
If you are adding a picture to a contact on the device itself and NOT using Exchange you should have no problem to begin with. However, like many people, if you are using Exchange then the pictures will get automatically resized into the small thumbnails in the upper right corner when people call you.
The solution is to go into settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Exchange > and turn off the Contacts toggle. You will get a message that says all contacts will be deleted, select "delete from my iphone. Now when you go into your contacts list it should be empty. Now what you need to do is manually add in contacts for which you want a full screen picture id for when they call. Try to spell their name the same way its found in the exchange service. Once you add all the people and pictures for the people, go back into settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Exchange > and toggle the contacts back on. When you do this you will get a message that asks you if you want to delete the contacts from the iphone or leave them. Click on "leave contacts or something similiar" Now what happens is that your contacts will be merged with exchange and the contacts that you just manually added from the iphone itself. This is why i said to try to name the contacts exactly the same so they are automatically merged into one contact instead of seeing two duplicates for the same person.
The way you can verify that you have done this properly is to go into contacts and pull up a person that you added the contact manuelly and wanted the full screen picture id for and scroll down to the bottom and you should see the title named "linked cards" and under it is should say iphone "name of person" and under that exchange "name of person" if the names are spelled exactly the same then you should be good to go."
If anyone finds an easier solution let me know and if you have issues leave a message and i will try to clarify the instructions because i know this method works because i have tested it.
