6.0 marshmallow - How do I make my profile icon use the same image on my google profile?

I'm currently using Nexus 6P with Marshmallow. I have not added other profiles on my device.

Why does my profile icon not share the same image used on my Google account? I recalled this working on an earlier android version (maybe Kitkat or Lollipop) but it only took effect after adding more users. I might be remembering this completely wrong, though.

Is there a way to make the image share what is already on my google profile?

Answer

My understanding is that this is controlled by the google+ app.

according to this xda thread try:

1. 
   

   Open Setting -> Apps -> All -> Contacts Storage -> Clear Data

   
   


2. 
   

   Open Google+ -> Settings -> Your account (under Account Settings) -> Contacts -> Keep contacts up to date
