Use Apple ID profile picture as user account profile picture

Question

When I was setting up my Mac, it prompted me to select a profile picture from one of the defaults to use for my user account.

However, I would like to use my profile picture from my Apple ID as the profile picture for my user account on my Mac, and keep it in sync.

How can I do that, if possible? I'm already signed in to my Apple ID on my user account.

Answer 1

macOS Monterey does this,

• by default for new user accounts,
• and for existing user accounts, change your profile picture in System Preferences → Users & Groups and iCloud will follow suit.
