How do I sync Contact photos to Outlook.com

I agree - its awful that you can't set up your contacts the way you want them. Seems we're LOSING functionality instead of gaining it. I don't want a bunch of Obama pictures, Tinkerbell pics, dog pics etc. I especially don't want them popping up on my phone when I'm in public or in a meeting. Nor do I want them changing all the time so I don't know who is what - since they aren't pictures of the people themselves. It's so frustrating. 

I just want to be able to have the picture I chose for my important contacts show up....

I have also submitted Feedback pertaining to this issue and would like to see this feature added.  Properly synchronizing is an important feature as it enables users to switch from old accounts and services.

Thanks for the feedback.

This sounds like outlook.com photos will only show if the user/contact is on outlook.com or if a socail network app is used Facebook/Linkedin.

Is there any info about when this would be fixed? (setting a photo for a private contact in outlook.com, and having it sync properly). Especially for contacts who dont provide a photo (Linkedin / Facebook). Some people on facebook use photos of their dog or cat as their image...

Hi,

With the current design of Microsoft Hotmail, photos are not included on those information that will flow when your tansfer contacts contact information either from an email client or phone. In Microsoft Hotmail your contact is the one who can edit or change his/her photo.

Thanks!
