So, what are the exact steps to follow for the custom portraits to work on an iOS device? This is what I do:
  1. I take the .png file and zip it;
  2. I rename the extension from .zip to .bg1portrait, .bg2portrait or .iwdportrait;
  3. I email the renamed file to myself;
  4. Finally, I download the email, tap on that file, then "copy to BG:EE". The game launches.
The problem is that there isn't the "custom " button like the desktop/Android version of the game.......

    Ok, I figured it out!
    All you gotta do is to convert the .png file to .bmp file, then you need to zip the .bmp file ( if needed, resize it to 169 x 266 pixels). At this point, proceed with steps 2, 3 and 4.

    Just a side note for you @Gate70 , @Dee :
    if you use the .bg2portrait extension, you can copy the file both to BG2 and IWD. This should not be the case for IWD since there is the .iwdportrait extension........
