If profile pic is not uploaded, it should return picture of initials, but it's not returning. It's just returning error "image not found". Please help to understand, how for some users it is returning initials and for others returning error "image not found".
Hi @Bilal Imdad
This is because your user has not yet added a photo, please add a photo for your user before obtaining it. You need to find the user in Azure AD and edit his profile.

Hi @CarlZhao-MSFT
User has photo on user profile. Some user that have photo are getting successfully but on some profiles we are getting this error.
Hi @Bilal Imdad
Is this issue just for some users?
yes some users are returning profile photos and some are not returning while they have on their AD Profile.
I need to confirm with you that the user's photo is not the default photo of Azure AD, right?
@Bilal Imdad The photos are uploaded by the users themselves and not the default ones in Azure AD, right?
yes. like following user has photo on AD account but when we fetch from graph api we get this
and we are getting this when we hit graph api

@Bilal Imdad Try change userPrincipalName to user id .
yes uploaded by users themselves
Actually we only have userprincipalName as records are synced through scim.
Hi @Bilal Imdad
I'm not sure if this is an id issue, but we use this method to troubleshoot:
You can first call https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{userprincipalname} to get the user id, and then try to use the user id to get the user profile photo https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{user id}/photo/$value.
