Azure Portal Profile Photo Not Showing

I'm not able to see my user profile photo in Azure AD after updating it. I've read many answers to the same question that said to wait 3-4 days, but I've waited nearly 2 weeks and my profile photo is still not showing up in the upper right-hand corner of Azure AD, but it does show up on the Users Overview Basic Info screen.

My company has 2 tenants, and my profile photo does show up correctly in the upper right-hand corner on one tenant, but not the other tenant. The app registrations that I sign into to use our applications are in the tenant where my profile photo is not showing up. I need to be able to get the user photo (using MS Graph API) that signed into the application so a thumbnail image of the user can be shown in our application for the signed in user. I'm able to use the MS Graph API using my other tenant and I can see the profile photo, but I need to use the tenant where my app registrations are located.

Do you have any suggestions on some other things I can try because I don't believe waiting longer than 2 weeks is going to make any difference?

    Hi @Chris Salopek , please try using the microsoft Graph toolkit as it completes the relevant request as a component and can display the results directly on the page.
    See if it can be more responsive. And here is the person component for your reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/toolkit/components/person?view=graph-rest-1.0
    Hope this helps. Wish you all the best.
