Clones of MCPE-189297
Profile image in various screens are now using player currently equipped skins or character as the image instead of using their xbox avatar, but this seems to only work with character creator and marketplace skin packs, if the player is using custom skin/skin packs, the current equipped skin won't show up in the profile image, instead the last equipped character creator/marketplace skin packs will show up.
Additionally, if the player is only using custom skin/skin packs, and hasn't been using character creator/marketplace skin packs for a while, their profile image will either fail to display completely or turn into offline avatar.
Steps to reproduce:
Open Minecraft or Minecraft Preview > Profile screen > Dressing Room
Change your skin to character creator or marketplace skin packs
Go back to Profile screen and wait 5 - 10 seconds, your profile image will change to that character/skins
Now change your skin to custom skin/skin packs
Go back to Profile screen and wait 5 - 10 seconds or longer, nothing happens
Expected results:
Current custom skin/skin packs will be displayed in your profile image.
Observed results:
Previous character creator/marketplace skin packs will be displayed instead.

As of today, it also affects skin preview on Profile screen, i don't know if i should created a new report about this or not, so for now i'm just gonna attached a video showcasing this issue and not update this report summary and desc.
Yes, this problem has not been resolved and I suffer from it as well. Any skin from Minecraft itself works, but any custom skin does not update the profile picture. I suffer from this problem in version 1.21.111 on a Windows 10 Pro device, update number 22 for the system, i.e. the latest update.
Affects 26.30, but I think I found a reason for the profile image not supporting custom skins / imported skinpacks and more: the creation of the profile image might be internet-dependent and the skin fetched for the image are only from the servers and not on the device (“Internet-dependent“ means even if the game is installed on my phone, the game on my phone (if signed in to a Microsoft Account) asks a server via the internet, to pick the same skin as on my phone’s from the servers, and then / or create a profile image using the server’s processing power, my phone then receives the new profile image the server has been created, “On the device” means if the game was installed on my phone, the game on my phone should pick the skin from my phone to create the profile image using my phone’s processing power, without ever needing the servers), Super Mario Mash-up Pack will be referred to as “one of more” (still I expect the icon of the profile image should be synced with servers for same account, cross-device use).
For the Super Mario Mash-up Pack on Nintendo Switch (plus “skin pack test” from MCPE-239565, and others, but not including the community port of the Mario Mash-up), the profile image will fail-over to the custom character from the same slot which the skin is equipped in instead. Please note it’s only the platform restricted skins (which is my main issue with the Super Mario Mash-up Pack) that will cause the profile image to fail-over.
Based of my investigation with this issue, when I disconnected / blocked myself from the internet and then I equipped another character / skin from another slot, even if it’s from the Marketplace, or be disconnected the instant after leaving the Dressing Room, the profile icon doesn’t change.
And with my test, to me, if the skin (like custom skins / imported skin packs and more) does not exist on the server, the icon refuses to / can’t be updated to use that skin as a profile image. I don’t know if mine was correct because no Mojang / Microsoft developer said so.
I don’t hope this then causes this issue to be solved as WAI, as this would be the same as asking for PR damage. I just want to help the developers make the profile image process fully on device, and I hope it would be fixed by making the profile image be supported for custom skins and imported skin packs.
For my investigation with the Super Mario Mash-up Pack on Nintendo Switch (plus “skin pack test” from MCPE-239565…), that test is inconsistent as it sometimes is treated as like imported skin packs, so you need to take this with a grain of salt.
Hola, one question, Why it only affects skins you made yourself, I thought it was allowed on all versions.
Dumb down version: I think, skin on server, icon load; skin not on server, icon no load. DIY skins don’t upload to server, so icon no load.
What I mean is that I think if the skin does not exist in the server, like DIY skins (custom skins and imported skin packs (even sideloaded ones)) (or skins from the Super Mario Mash-up?), the profile image can’t be updated. See previous comment for my investigation.
Summary:
Face texture and second layer fail to render on Profile Image for Classic Marketplace Skin (MCPE-189765).
Description:
When equipping a classic Creeper skin pack from the Marketplace, the icon preview under "Your Profile" fails to display the facial textures and head layers, rendering as a flat/grey placeholder instead.
Steps to reproduce:
Equip a classic Creeper skin from the Marketplace.
Open the "Your Profile" menu.
Observe the profile picture icon showing a plain grey face without textures.
