## Expected behavior If a group has no group avatar, it should display somehow a combination of the users’ avatars, if any of the users have available avatars. ## Actual behavior Groups without avatars instead use the first letter of the subject/group name: ![Screenshot_۲۰۲۲۱۰۲۸-۱۲۳۶۳۳_DeltaLab_1](https://support.delta.chat/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c8100a172f68d01bc71d0223e539da9059c6e749.jpeg) ## Example Images I just took this from QKSMS for example: ![Screenshot_۲۰۲۲۱۰۲۸-۱۲۴۷۰۹_QKSMS](https://support.delta.chat/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3d3e52849f582145ced94216887e14fb92872d8f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_۲۰۲۲۱۰۲۸-۱۲۴۶۲۶_QKSMS](https://support.delta.chat/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9af9a69ed5945ce283e674b9944444b6e4ccf779.jpeg) ---

I definitely think this idea is awesome, from a UX point of view it’s easier to follow messages without a profile picture. But that’s my opinion, which may differ from most people here. But I hope someone can say something contrary to what I said or add something complementary as I initially found this feature a nice thing to have in delta-chat. ---

Is it now implemented? Can you send a screenshot? I am using DeltaLab on my phone— with it’s different release schedule,— and avatarless groups are still avatarless for me. ---

I am using DeltaLab on my phone— with it’s different release schedule,— and avatarless groups are still avatarless for me. I don’t have screenshot, because I don’t know if this has been implemented or not. ---
