Tapping on the user's avatar under profile previews on mobile leads to a softlock

Summary

This issue went unnoticed in plain sight. Tapping the user's avatar under profile preview works fine in desktop clients. Whereas, on mobile, this is not the case. Instead of trying to fix the bug, why not implement a small feature on Discord, where tapping on the user's avatar under profile preview leads to a option to change your profile picture. Not only this fixes the bug, it also matches Discord in feature parity, making it seemless to the average user who attempt to do this action.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to You
  2. Edit Profile
  3. Tap on the user's avatar under profile preview (as shown in the image)
  4. The client gets softlocked. No matter what you do, you cannot escape previewing your own profile. Therefore, you are required to close the mobile client (also image as shown here below the first one).

Environment (optional)

stable build 423 (ae9940b), 2026-04-22 13:04:01 UTC, Safari 26.4, iOS 18.7 (arm64) (specifically iOS 26.4.2)
