Contact photos on iPhone are stored within the built-in Photos app. Whenever you add or edit a contact’s photo, the app will save the image as a part of the contact’s profile and will also be saved in your Photos library. You can view and manage these contact photos by opening the Photos app, selecting the "Albums" tab, and scrolling down to find the "People" album. Within the People album, you can find all your contacts’ photos and make any necessary edits. Additionally, any photos synced from iCloud or other sources will also be stored in your Photos app, allowing for easy access to your entire collection of images.
