Old Avatar Pictures url are invalid

[ctrixcode]

• The different avatar added in chat app 4 years ago are no longer valid
• add new avatar replacing older one
• make sure to put them in project and not using ui
• make sure correct name of avatar is stored in db so it displays properly

Hi @ctrixcode

I’ve reviewed the avatar functionality in the chat application. Currently, the app uses avatars that were added 4 years ago, and these are either broken external links or outdated placeholders. This is why users don’t see avatars correctly.

To fix this issue, there are a few approaches i can do 2 things
Replace with Local Avatars:
Add new avatar images directly inside the project folder (src/assets/avatars/).
Update the avatar selection code to use these local images.
Store the avatar name in the database (e.g., boy1, girl2) so it maps correctly whenever a user sends or receives messages.

Or i can

Update Existing Database Entries:
For users who already have avatars stored in the database, we can map their old avatars to the new local avatars.
This prevents existing users from losing their avatars. would like to hear your opinion on this before i start working

Hi @ramanuj-droid
I think it is good idea to add local avatar and also map old avatar in db to new one.

Great! I’ll proceed with adding the new local avatars to the project and mapping the old avatar entries in the database to the new ones. This will ensure both existing and new users see the correct avatars.

I’ll keep you updated once the changes are implemented.
