    Hi, in B2C you can use these Graph API's. You can try to use the profilePhoto resource type which lets you get/update a photo.
    This may work: 

    GET https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/users/{user_id}/thumbnailPhoto?api-version  
PATCH https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/users/{user_id}?api-version

    If this answer helped you, please mark it as "Verified" so other users may reference it.

    Thank you,
    James

    Microsoft Azure AD B2C currently doesn't handle profile pictures gracefully and there is a bug reported.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1042453/(bug)-changing-users-thumbnail-in-azure-ad-b2c-doe

    Also, Microsoft retired Azure AD Graph API and migrating to Microsoft Graph API, the associated graph API endpoint is currently not supported for profile pictures.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/profilephoto-update?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#:%7E:text=Updating%20a%20user%27s%20photo%20using%20the%20Microsoft%20Graph%20API%20is%20currently%20not%20supported%20in%20Azure%20AD%20B2C%20tenants

    So there is no solution to store profile pictures in Azure ADB2C as of now.

    This is quite disappointing.
