Actual Result:

A weird attachment shows up while clicking on the avatar picture in a group chat

Steps I took to try to reproduce

1. open chat on staging
2. click into a chat of a user with a default avatar
3. click into their profile
4. their profile picture shows the default avatar, not a blank attachment screen

@kavimuru - can you try reproducing this one again and let me know if you get the same result? thanks!
