DM with generic Icon and Room with the Icon of the user in it

[lascapi]

Description

There is a diffence between Element Android and Desktop in the icon for DMs and Rooms.

What I think is good ( like in Element Android ) :
For DMs ( johan is a person ) I can see his/her profil’s picture.

For a room ( Maria is the room’s name) without picture as icon I can to see the first letter

Problem

In element Web/Desktop the behaviour is the opposite. As you can see johan got the first letter and the Maria room got the profil’s picture of johan ( wich is and the only one in the room )

I got it at least for DM rooms version 1

@lascapi I think the issue you are seeing is partially related to cache updating. The functional part is summarised in #18747 . If you are happy that 18747 covers your issue, I would like to close this as a duplicate.
