AngularJS ng-src does not load new image with same url

Question

Currently I'm showing an image with the following code:

<img ng-src="{{user.profileImage}}") class='img-circle photo' />

The user is able to change that photo using an upload function. The profileImage will be overwritten because filename is renamed to the users _id. So for example the path is: https://some-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/profiles/5cfa5fb5850b2755d89574cc.png.

After a successful upload the path stays the same, but the content on the url will become different, the image will still show the old image, even after reloading the whole $scope.user.

I tried to use an different path for the image like data.profileImage and clearing user.profileImage before loading, adding ng-if="user.profileImage !='' to the image, but it isn't working.

Is there a way to reload the image without reloading the whole page?

I didn't paste the upload code, I think it's not necessary for this issue.

Sounds like a caching issue. Try appending ?<timestamp> to user.profileImage — user2954463

I think this is a browser caching issue, not ng-src problem.

Try appending ?<timestamp> to value of user.profileImage.

This will force browser to fetch the new image.
