I don't like one of my WhatsApp friend's picture (we chat regularly though his photo disgusts me), so I want to change his profile picture.
Jan 31, 2016 How to invite someone to use WhatsApp for iPhone Launch WhatsApp from your Home screen. Tap on the Contacts tab. It's the middle tab which looks like a head-shaped icon at the bottom. Scroll through your contacts and tap on the name of the person you would like to.
I did change its source image, but it didn't work on the small image that you see on the chat screen next to the name. Is it possible to change it? If it's how?
I did it.With this command: adb push C:Usersportakal.AndroidStudiosystemtmpimage.jpg /data/data/com.whatsapp/files/Avatars/[email protected]
XXXXXXXX is the number and image is the photo that I wanted to see instead of his.

Try this out. To summarize the steps in the link:
- Resize the pic you want to use to 561×561.
- Save it in
/sdcard/WhatsApp/Profile Pictures
on your phone. - Then rename it to your friend's phone number, including country code first. (If Jenny lived in Manhattan, her filename would be 12128675309.jpg)
- Reopen WhatsApp and the picture should be there.
