How did a photo magically appear in the iphone contacts? I am not wise to the ways of apple.  I've had an iphone for about 6 months, and this is the first time I noticed this occurring. 

I created a new contact by directly entering it into  the Contacts app on the phone. 
A little while later, I saw that this new contact has a photo attached to it. 

I did not specify that photo. It appears to be the correct photo. 

Where did it come from? 



I have the phone configured to sync with a GMail Contacts list, from work. 
Is that where it comes from? 

If someone else entered my name into their contacts list, would they get my picture?  How would I set it up so that they do? 

thanks.
Did you enable iOS 6's Facebook Integration? It will grab updated contact information and pictures from anyone in your contacts you have on Facebook if you enable the Contacts syncing.
