Revision history [back]

I added avatars to some of my contacts in the people app, all 800x800 jpg photos. After some time, some of the contacts lose their avatars like so:

As you can see, the set avatars are replaced with what appears to be transparent images. This only happens to the four contacts (in)visible in the first screenshot. I have tried different kinds of image files (even png screenshots) as their avatars, but they still lose them after some time.

Bonus question: the screenshot below shows a cached, older avatar (I had that on my previous phone, so it possibly came in while transferring the contacts). Where are those cached avatars stored? Even when the newly set avatar becomes transparent, the app still remembers the older avatar.
