Hang on … I set a picture on MY phone and then anyone I call sees MY picture? Oh yeah, can’t see how this’ll go wrong. How long before dick picks are sent, or advertisements, or someone finds a way to use it to hack someones phone.
I can see this could be useful, especially folks with eye sight issues (but how would this affect blind folks?), but it’s just another way to tell someone who is calling. I don’t answer my phone unless they’re in my contact book already.
This seems eh to me, but I’m not an Apple person anyway.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t some phones already call out the name of the caller for blind people?
Heard it on a train once, maybe a feature I can’t seem to find on my phone.
It’s not much different than a profile picture on most social media networks, is it? You could have done all of this with your Lemmy profile picture as well.

This was the first thing I thought too. I got to find that comic about “time-to-penis” stats.

Yep, this is also a common feature for phones for seniors.
My old feature phone from 2010 had this.
