Go to Settings > Accounts & Passwords and setup your Gmail in there. You can enable contacts to be synced in the menu there.

Easy peasy.. Go to Settings -> Contacts -> Default Account.. choose Gmail.

I always keep phone, calendar and anything that has a Google equivalent on the Google option.

You'll see the profile pics in the messages app contacts list. But not in the Contacts app menu list.
