Allow adding a contact profile photo during contact creation on iPhone

I’d like HubSpot’s iPhone app to allow users to add a contact’s profile photo directly when creating a new contact. I see that there was a similar product request (Unable to upload contact photo in mobile app!) that was marked as “Solved” but the problem remains. Therefore I am creating a new request because of its importance to the workflow of our organization.

Right now, I can create the contact on my phone, but I can’t set the contact’s actual profile image at that time. Since most people take a person’s photo on their phone, this creates unnecessary extra steps. I have to either attach the image to an activity or move the photo to a computer and then update the contact photo later on desktop.

Why this matters:

  • It interrupts a natural mobile workflow
  • It adds friction and extra steps after contact creation
  • It makes contact records less complete in the moment
  • It’s especially inconvenient when meeting people in person

Suggested improvement:
Add an option during iPhone contact creation to take a photo or choose one from the phone and save it as the contact’s profile image.

Hi @TGriffin92, Makes total sense, snapping a photo in the moment and then having to bounce to desktop later completely breaks the point of doing it on mobile. Have you found any workaround in the meantime, like uploading it right after creation from the contact record on the app instead of during creation? Curious if that at least skips the desktop step, or if the app doesn’t support photo upload post creation either.
