How to add a photo to a contact on Huawei and Honor? Smartphone owners know that such a tool is available in their gadgets. The advantage is obvious - you completely personalize this subscriber, and when there is an incoming call, his photo will be visible. This is convenient because you don’t have to look closely at the number and name. And on some smartphones they are displayed in small font, which complicates the use of Android. Installing a photo is fashionable and practical. But if you don’t know how yet, then this instruction is for you.
Adding a photo via Contacts
The easiest way to attach a photo is to do it through the “Contacts” section.
Important! You can set a photo only to those subscribers who are saved in the phone memory or in your Google account, and not the SIM card. If they are stored in the SIM card memory, the recording must first be copied to the device memory or to your Google account.
To install a photo on a contact in Honor or Huawei, you must follow the following procedure:
- Select “ Phone ” (handset icon) on the screen.
- Go to “ Contacts ”.
- Find and select the desired entry.
- Click the “ Change ” button.
- In the window that opens, click on the icon in the form of a camera in a circle.
- At the bottom of the screen, 2 options will appear: “ Take a photo ” or “ Select from Gallery ”. The first option is suitable if the person is nearby. You can take a photo of him and immediately add an avatar to his post. If the person is not nearby, you can use the second option: “Select from Gallery.”
- Find the desired image in the device memory.
- Set a mini-avatar by moving the circle to the desired area of the image.
- Double-click on the checkmark in the upper right corner of the screen.
Ready! The image is now saved and displayed in the phone entry information. When you open the list, you will see a mini-avatar. In addition, you can see this photo during a call or an incoming call from a subscriber. By the way, the subscriber may be on the black list. You can find out how to view the blacklist on your phone here.

Adding photos via Gallery
This method is similar to the first, but is performed in a different sequence.
Important! As in the first case, you can add an image to the entries that are in your Google account or device memory, and not on the SIM card.
You can add a photo to a contact through the gallery as follows:
- Open the folder where all the images are stored and specify the one we need.
- Click on the “More” icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Click on “ Set as… ”, then “ Contact photo ”.
