Google is adjusting the “Profile Sharing” feature in its Google Messages app to allow users to set custom contact names and photos to send text messages to their stored contacts and to other people on their devices. As reported 9to5GoogleA change was introduced late last year that removed your custom name and photo from everyone's broadcast profile, but now you can change it back to give friends, coworkers, and family members the name and avatar they want. What do you think they should have?
Google's Updated help page for profile sharing Now let's outline the steps to set up a local contact photo that replaces the photo shared by your contact. To customize their name or appearance, tap a person's contact name or photo in a Google Messages chat, then tap their photo on the details page. From there, you can switch between their shared one or your own custom one for them.
