On iOS 15 (actually since iOS 14), on a MKMapView when tapping on the default User Location a callout is shown displaying kind of an 'empty' profile picture.

You can see on the screenshot below the callout that appears when tapping the user location, I want to change the image that appears there.

A map view showing the user location's callout

Is it possible to configure it?

For example setting my own profile picture but the behaviour staying the same.

To clarify, I don't want to change the User Location annotation and I don't want to add a custom annotation either, also I don't want to add my own callout to the User Location's annotation. I just want to find out if it is possible to set an image for the existing callout.

The User Location shown on the picture is the default one using: MKMapView.showsUserLocation = true

Edit

Some folks have pointed out that this might be a duplicated of this other question, it is not.

That other question deals with how to configure a Pin or Annotation View (MKPinAnnotationView or MKAnnotationView).

My situation is quite different. I want to be able to edit the profile picture shown on the default user location. This one seems to be a private class but I would like to know if there is a public access to configure it.

    Does this answer your question? [Change pin image on MKMapView in Swift](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29116571/change-pin-image-on-mkmapview-in-swift) – teja_D Jan 11 '22 at 12:21
  • @teja_D it doesn't. As mentioned on the question I want to change the image on the User Location. I don't want to add a new pin to the map. – vicegax Jan 11 '22 at 12:30

    Did someone find an answer to this!!?, because Apple Maps is able to set my profile icon on that – cedricbahirwe Nov 18 '22 at 10:51
