The profile pictures do not display in the selfhosting update for other instances

(#3620) Bug Closed: Fixed Priority: P2 desktop mobile profiles
by Amethyst-Ava

Observed behaviour

I clicked on the switch instance. expecting to see my profile pictures. but all i see is just the default fluxer icon on all of them. a image of this is linked in attachments

Reproduction steps

Go into Canary Fluxer. Make sure its updated. Go to the switch instances. if you already have instances you will see profile pictures do not show. Just the fluxer icon. This is also the same for mobile as of now.

Merged from #3722 Apps cache profile pictures for account switcher

Shadow Lighthoof

Report details

Observed behaviour

In account switcher, only the profile picture of the account that’s currently logged in is displayed, with the other accounts/instances showing the generic Fluxer account icon

Platform

Windows, Linux, iOS, Self-hosting

Evidence

Proposed change Would be great for the app to cache the user’s profile picture in appcache for each instance when they log in, so each of their account’s profile pictures is displayed in app switcher when switching.

Fixed in desktop canary 2026.1008.12411. The account switcher loads each account's profile picture from that account's own instance.

I can sadly confirm that it is not fixed. It was when the update first came out. then it randomly stopped.

It is not only the profile picture in the account switcher, it's also the server icons and the icons of the users on a server.
