What's Wrong?

Profile initials/icon changes don't persist after saving in Settings." Include whether you're on web or desktop, your OS, and app version. Just recently it updated to allow saving of job description and personalization, but still no icon.

What Should Happen?

Icon in bottom-left corner should update to reflect the chosen icon upon saving.
