Nexus 6 not loading user account icon

[dan weeks]

hello
my new nexus 6 is not loading my google+ icon. It worked fine on the Nexus 5 I just upgraded from.
When i go to chrome from a laptop my icon is still there but on the Nexus 6 I only get a default teal circle with a D (for Dan).

any suggestions?

Yeah, the Nexus 6 doesn't seem to load the avatar from G+. Instead, there is a contact card for yourself, the owner, which you can attach your pic to. Once you do, the icon will update with your picture, and it'll also show in Google Messenger if you use that for SMS/MMS.

It is kind bizarre because is loads the avatar for some of the contacts and not others. It even loaded some avatars that were not on my Nexus 5 and left some off the 6 that were on the 5
