Research direction
The issue does not identify implementation files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the auth-table user model and social-provider profile handling, then define how initials and provider photo URLs should be stored and exposed; done means both email/password and third-party sign-ups have the intended default image behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Feature request
Include user image to the auth table (from initials generated to social platform generation)
From AppWrite (A supabase open source alternative)

From Firebase
// Retrieving user photo
val user = Firebase.auth.currentUser
user?.let {
for (profile in it.providerData) {
// Id of the provider (ex: google.com)
val providerId = profile.providerId
// UID specific to the provider
val uid = profile.uid
// Name, email address, and profile photo Url
val name = profile.displayName
val email = profile.email
val photoUrl = profile.photoUrl
}
}
// Updating user photo
val user = Firebase.auth.currentUser
val profileUpdates = userProfileChangeRequest {
displayName = "Jane Q. User"
photoUri = Uri.parse("https://example.com/jane-q-user/profile.jpg")
}
user!!.updateProfile(profileUpdates)
.addOnCompleteListener { task ->
if (task.isSuccessful) {
Log.d(TAG, "User profile updated.")
}
}
Firebase and AppWrite also knows what image to show
Example:
a. if user sign up via email/password (We can use name initials as photo)
b. if it is based on 3rd party sign up e.g. Facebook or Twitter use that photo from the platform
This makes it by default user has a photo depend on what method of sign up.
