Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using shared address books the people get "contact has been updated" every week in the activity feed. This should not happen if the picture hasn't even changed.

Describe the solution you'd like

Only update the contact if the avatar picture of the social media account has actually been changed.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can't think of any alternative.
