Sharing contacts between two iCloud accounts

Hey all,


My wife and I have setup our iCloud accounts so that we can share one contacts list. We have done this by disabling "contacts" under the iCloud sync settings on my wife's devices and then under contacts adding my iCloud account to her phone (setting on iPhone and app on Mac). Please find screenshot from my wife's phone below. This works a treat except for one problem, every time she updates the account photo for her iCloud account it changes mine too. This is so weird, why would the contact list have anything to do with the iCloud account photo?


A great fix for this would be for Apple to introduce Family Sharing for contacts as they do for for calendars, but until then does anyone have any ideas to fix this?


Cheers,


Haniel
