Bug description

After updating to 4.61.6 the profile picture is removed. This did not happen to my device during the beta however my wife's phone received 4.61.6 through the stable channel and has this as a result. In the 4.61.6 beta thread this was also reported by one person. Note this only seem to happen on the device itself. If I send a message the profile picture on the receiving device remains.

Edit: Apparently this was already reported on the community forum as well: https://community.signalusers.org/t/lost-signal-profile-picture/14751

Steps to reproduce

• Unable. Happens after update.

Actual result: Profile picture is gone after update.
Expected result: Profile picture remains after update.

This happened to me as well after the update to 4.61.6 happened overnight. Here is a debug log from shortly after I noticed it was missing:

Someone in my contacts had the same error. The profile picture was just grey for other people. Setting a new picture fixed it. Unfortunately I don't have a debug log.

Hi there, we believe we understand what caused this issue, and while we can't reverse what's already happened, it shouldn't happen moving forward. Thanks!
