php - Image is not shwing in the user profile in Laravel

I am having a little problem here. I am trying to put an image in my User Profile. The image is saved in the database and no errors are shown up, but I never see the default image that I gave to it. It says that it's there but The place for the pic stays empty.

This is what I've got for now:

UserController.php

<?php

namespace app\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
// namespace App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

// use App\Http\Requests\Request;

// use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    public function profile()
    {
        $user = Auth::user();
        return view('profile',compact('user',$user));
    }

    public function update_avatar(Request $request){

        $request->validate([
            'avatar' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);

        $user = Auth::user();

        $avatarName = $user->id.'_avatar'.time().'.'.request()->avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();

        $request->avatar->storeAs('avatars',$avatarName);

        $user->avatar = $avatarName;
        $user->save();

        return back()
            ->with('success','You have successfully upload image.');

    }
        /** Return view to upload file */
        public function uploadFile(){
            return view('uploadfile');
        }

            /** Example of File Upload */
    public function uploadFilePost(Request $request){
        $request->validate([
            'fileToUpload' => 'required|file|max:1024',
        ]);

        $request->fileToUpload->store('logos');

        return back()
            ->with('success','You have successfully upload image.');

    }
}

filesystems.php

'default' => env('FILESYSTEM_DRIVER', 'public'),

How can I make the default avatar visible?

Also, do you have any suggestions on how to put a watermark on the photos that will appear each time someone uploads photos?

Thanks in advance!

Solution:

You can try this. First execute this command

php artisan storage:link

Then

<img class="rounded-circle" width="150" height="150" src="{{url('')}}/storage/avatars/{{ $user->avatar }}"/>
