Hello Everyone,

I'm having some trouble with the user images on my iMac with Catalina and iPhone Xs:

1. If I go to System > Preferences I see an image next to my name at the top that has Apple ID and Family Sharing icons next to it.

2. If I click the Apple ID icon then I get another image that I can make different if I want.

3. If I click the Family Sharing icon I get yet another image that I can make different if I want.

3. If I change one the others don't necessarily change.

4. If I change the image under the Family Sharing icon, then it will change both mine and my wife's icons on our iPhone Xs.


Shouldn't it only change mine? Are these three or four different places separate altogether? I'm getting confused and there is a delay to the change sometimes so I'll look at my wife's text message to me and see my icon. It's odd.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
