Components
Signal messenger is a messaging app that enables users send messages without any text charges. Like Whatsapp, it allows for its users to share images , videos and GIFs. It also allows for users to upload a display picture for quick identification.
But there's a restriction. Users are limited to a particular size of photo to be uploaded in the display picture section, thus restricting users from resizing the photos to their preference.
Proposal
With this, my suggestion is; users should be allowed the free wil to resize photo to their preference before hitting the upload button. Let the user have the will to crop out a particular portion if not needed . It should be the user's choice.
