I can't reproduce this on the latest main.

I have a different experience locally when checked out to this branch. I don't see an infinite load, but once I click save on the new image and navigate back to the profile screen, it shows the new avatar briefly, then reverts back to the old one.

And now that I've updated all my back end libraries, everything works fine 🤷 Asked for a re-test here.
