Steps to reproduce

1. Start with opening Talk so that your profile is loaded by the application.
2. On Nextcloud, change your profile picture.
3. Return to talk. The profile won't be updated even after rebooting the application.

Expected behaviour

The profile should update on the talk client if it changes.

Actual behaviour

The profile picture remains the same for extended periods of time. This includes past app reboots and force reloads.

Client logs

Logs are after running a Force Reload. Issue still occurs.
(I don't think the logs help in this case)

Hi, thanks for the report!

Avatar image has this in response headers, so it's cached for 1 day and won't be updated until it expires (which is a common practice for most of image previews / assets in Nextcloud):

Cache-Control: private, max-age=86400, immutable

If you disable cache, it should be promptly updated after force reload.

We'll take a look how it is invalidated in web and see, if that would be possible to implement in the Desktop client.

It is also Talk Desktop issue.

It only loads avatar once on open.
