It might have to do with the FeatureFlags still not having profile pictures enabled:

    @Provides
    internal fun provideFeatureFlags() = object : FeatureFlags {
        override fun shouldEnableImageAttachments() = false
        override fun shouldEnableProfilePictures() = false
        override fun shouldEnableDisappearingMessages() = false
    }

but even if I enable it, I need to restart briar desktop to receive an updated profile picture.
