In topic 19: "Working with Contacts," we show you how to add a picture when editing a contact. You can also find a picture you like and assign it to a contact. First, find the photo you want to use.
As we did with wallpaper, and emailing a photo, tap the Options button — the one furthest to the right of the upper row of soft keys. If you don’t see the icons, tap the screen once.
When you touch the Options button, you’ll see a drop-down of choices: Email Photo, Assign to Contact, Use as Wallpaper, and Copy Photo.
Touch the Assign to Contact button.
You will see your contacts on the screen. You can either perform a search using the search bar at the top or just scroll through your contacts.
Once you find the contact to which you would like to add the picture, touch the name.
You will then see the Move and Scale screen. Tap and drag the picture to move it; use pinch to zoom in or out.
When you have it just as you want, touch the Set Photo button to assign the picture to that contact.
NOTE: You will return to your Photo Library, not to the contact. If you want to check that the picture did get set to your contact, exit the Photo app, start the Contact app, and then search for that contact.
Deleting a Picture
Why are there some pictures you can’t delete from your iPhone 4 (the Trash Can icon is missing)?
You’ll notice that the Trash Can icon is not visible for any photo that is synced from iTunes. You can delete such pictures only from your computer library. Then, the next time you sync your iPhone 4, they will be deleted.
When you are looking through pictures in your Saved Photos (which is not synced with iTunes, but is comprised of pictures you save from an email message or download from the Web), you’ll see the Trash Can icon in the bottom icon bar. This Trash Can icon does not appear when you are viewing pictures from your Photos Library or other synced albums.
If you don’t see the bottom row of icons, tap the photo once to activate them. Then tap the Trash Can icon. You will be prompted with the option to delete the picture.
Touch Delete Photo and the picture will be deleted from your iPhone 4.
