I hate the new bedrock profile pic system. Please change it back

Before this new version, the profile picture on bedrock was the same as the Xbox one, which I (and my friends) were very happy with it. But now it's an ugly snapshot of our character (according to the changelog) but not, it's not even that. It's an ugly snapshot of Alex's character for me, and a random character for my friend. Couldn't it at least be my own skin snapshot?? (Which I made entirely by myself) Please, revert this horrible profile pic system. It's horrible and I really dislike looking at Alex face on my profile.

    Yes, I just tested it and changed my skin to a random skin from the marketplace and my profile picture is now the face of that skin, but apparently it doesn't work with custom skins...

    It would be OKAY if the profile picture matched the custom skin, and not just the skin from the marketplace.
    But on the other hand, I could make my own profile picture with anything and anyone, not just the skin face.

    I was also using a custom skin. Before, my profile picture was a snapshot of my custom skin's face, but now it's a snapshot of Steve's face, and that's driving me crazy. However, I actually don't hate the new profile picture system, I think it looks a lot better for everyone. Please, at least make the profile picture match custom skins as well.

    My pic has orange skin even tho it's white on the actual avatar.
    That aside, this is also a potentially dangerous update for some players! I know 2 people who have been outed to their friends and family by the skin they were using bc of this update. I don't think players were even warned before hand

    Someone has already reported this as a bug almost a year ago and it's currently being tracked here: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE/issues/MCPE-189765

    Please make the icons like they used to be, or at least make it so that custom skins can be used as icons.
