Answer
Open Contacts, select My Card, edit your contact photo and poster, then control whether it is shared with contacts or only when you approve.
Open My Card
Open the Contacts app on your iPhone, tap My Card at the top, then tap Edit. If My Card is missing, create your contact card first and choose Make this My Card.
Create or edit the poster
Tap your contact photo, then choose and customize the photo and Contact Poster that can appear when you call or message other people.
Preview and save the design
Adjust the crop, font, color, and background until the preview is readable, then tap Done. Review the contact photo and full-screen poster previews before saving the updated card.
Choose how it is shared
Turn on Name & Photo Sharing. Choose Contacts Only to share automatically with your contacts, or Always Ask to approve sharing each time.
Verify with a trusted contact
Call or message a trusted contact and confirm the intended name, photo, and poster are offered according to the sharing choice. Their own Contacts settings can affect what they see.

If it does not work
