## Expected behavior

Larger profile picture in the _Action Bar_.

## Actual behavior

The profile picture in the _Action Bar_ is very small.

## Explanation

By _Action Bar_ I mean the bar with the profile picture above the chat.  
A larger picture would visually enhance DC-iOS and one could see the content better.

Sorry, I mean the bar above the chat and thought that was the correct term for it.  
As far as I know the profile pictures are bigger in DC Android.  
Here is a screenshot of DC iOS:
