acf_form on user profile

Hi,

I am using Advance Custom Fields to create a new fields within the members profiles. Using the locations panel within the setting, i can target the user group and the fields i want to display (which works perfectly).

However, i am now using the acf_form function that allows me insert the form into a front end. I have created three test accounts, not including my admin account. Within the admin account, i upload an image and fill out one of the custom fields. When i log into the other account, those fields have already got that values i associated from the admin account.

This only happen in the front end form as when i visit the wordpress official user profile, its empty (like it should be).

<?php $options = array(
    'post_id' => $post->ID,
    'field_groups' => array(77),
    'form' => true, 
    'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ),
    'html_before_fields' => '',
    'html_after_fields' => '',
    'submit_value' => 'Update'
);
acf_form( $options );
?>

Is there any reason why it is doing that?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Fixed it myself. For future purposes, here is the fix:

	<?php $options = array(
	    'post_id' => 'user_'.$current_user->ID,
	    'field_groups' => array(77),
	    'form' => true, 
	    'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ), 
	    'html_before_fields' => '',
	    'html_after_fields' => '',
	    'submit_value' => 'Update' 
	);
	acf_form( $options );
	?>

Declared the post_id as current user ID taken directly from wordpress

Hello!
Why when user updates some acf variables through front-end form I don’t see any changes in his standard WordPress profile page? Is there any way to sync data between front-end form and profile page? Thanks

UPD
Sorry, I did something wrong, everything works like a charm!

This is my solution that saves the value.

add_action( 'woocommerce_edit_account_form', 'add_favorite_color_to_edit_account_form' );
function add_favorite_color_to_edit_account_form() {
    acf_form_head();

    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
	$options = array(
		    'post_id' => 'user_'.$current_user->ID,
		    'field_groups' => array(111),
		    'form' => true, 
		    'return' => add_query_arg( 'updated', 'true', get_permalink() ), 
		    'html_before_fields' => '',
		    'html_after_fields' => '',
		    'submit_value' => 'Update' 
		);
		acf_form( $options );
}
