SYSTEMS, COMMUNICATION ENDPOINTS, AND RELATED METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTING IMAGES CORRESPONDING TO COMMUNICATION ENDPOINTS

Systems and methods are disclosed for distributing images corresponding to communication endpoints. A system includes one or more servers configured to determine whether image privacy settings corresponding to images of communication endpoints permit the images to be transmitted to others of the communication endpoints for display with contacts lists of the others of the communication endpoints. A method includes transmitting the data corresponding to the images to the others of the communication endpoints as permitted by the image privacy settings. A communication endpoint is configured to present a contacts list displaying the images corresponding to communication endpoints listed in the contacts list to a user, if permitted by the corresponding image privacy settings. A method of transforming a computing device into a communication endpoint includes storing computer-readable instructions directed to performing actions the communication endpoint is configured to perform, and transmitting the computer-readable instructions to the computing device.
