Don't force users to add a profile pic at sign up. Use whether they add a pfp later a signal as to whether they care enough about their app identity to add one.

You have the most leverage with a user adding something to their profile in the initial sign up flow 

I also think it’s encouraging an action which will result in a better experience for the user bc people like to see images on profiles and are probably more likely to engage compared to a profile with default image

If you need to use tricks to make a user to add a profile pic it’s still a trick. If you’re using an app you will add a pfp.
