How to Set a Recurring Video As Your Facebook Profile Picture on IOS
Facebook is starting to roll out some interesting new changes to mobile user profiles, starting with those of you using iOS. Here’s how to change your profile picture to a video loop in the Facebook iOS app.
The profile changes were announced earlier this week , but they’ve just started rolling out to users in the last couple of days. Facebook mobile profiles on iOS now have the user’s image focused in the center of the screen, and you can also customize the information that appears at the top of your profile. The most interesting part of the update, however, is support for GIF profile images. Here’s how to set up yours:
- Open your Facebook app on iOS.
- Go to your profile page and tap their picture.
- Select “Make a new profile video” or “Upload a video or photo.” If you do not see these options, the update has not yet been released to you and will display “Coming Soon”.
- Select or record a video (limited to seven seconds).
The update is currently only targeting some iOS users, but the feature should be rolling out to all mobile users soon. The only way to know if you have an update right now is to open the Facebook app and see. However, after you add a profile video, anyone on a mobile or desktop computer can view it.
