      No good here, I've tested from the web client (through edge) and also from desktop client (version 1.4.00.2879) and users are still being allowed to change the profile photo.

        Setting up your SharePoint Online profile policy requires you to use the Microsoft 365 admin center interface.

        1. Go to https://admin.microsoft.com/AdminPortal/Home#/homepage, click Show all in the left menu and choose SharePoint to access the SharePoint Online admin center.

         

         

        In the SharePoint Online admin center, click More features, and click Open in the User profiles section.

         

         

        Go to Manage User Properties.

         

        Click Picture and then click Edit Policy.

         

         

        In the Policy settings, clear the Allow users to edit values for this property checkbox, scroll down and click OK.
