Automatic purge of the cache when a profile picture is changed
Hi folks,
Currently, profile pictures in Teams are cached on the client for up to 60 days. This means that it could take up to 60 days for colleagues to see your new picture with a nice Christmas sweater.
To illustrate my point, let's consider a scenario where Satya Nadella changes his profile picture on December 1st with a great Christmas jumper. Would it be acceptable for his collaborators only to see the updated picture after their cache expires 60 days later, on February 1st?
Shouldn't we purge the cache after each profile picture update to ensure the latest version is visible across all clients and solutions within 24 hours?
The user's story could look like this:
As a Microsoft Teams user
I want my newly uploaded picture to be visible within 24 hours across all clients and solutions.
So, my collaborators will always be served with the latest content.
Please vote for the feedback here.
Thank you.

Microsoft has already confirmed they are working on improvements for this scenario.
- Do we have a timeline on this, please?
- This is very useful because here on our company all users need to change photos frequently. It is disappointing that cache stays that long..
- We really need this! It is a bit weird that it takes so long.
- Agree! 🙂
