Today, we are going to be going over how to set temporary profile picture on Facebook, so you can have a placeholder while you decide on a better one.
Have you ever used Facebook and seen that the profile photographs of your friends were now similar to their original photos but with rainbow backgrounds? Users can create temporary profile images using a Facebook function.
How to Set a Temporary Facebook Profile Picture Frame
In addition to creating a temporary profile picture on Facebook, you can use the Frames feature to add an overlay to the photo. You also can set the length of time the frame displays on your profile picture.
To set a temporary profile picture frame on Facebook:
- Open the Facebook website and sign in.
- Visit your profile page, navigate to the location of your photo profile, and then click the Edit button.
- On the Update profile picture screen, click the Add Frame button.
- Now you can choose from various frames that stand for different causes, sports, gaming, music, or generic frames from the column on the left. Note that you can also type in a description of the profile picture if you want to.
- After selecting the frame, you want to use, click the time dropdown menu and decide how long you want it to display on your profile picture.
- Click the option to use the frame you chose, and it will appear on your Facebook profile.
You can do some interesting things by setting up temporary profile pictures on Facebook. For example, you can set the picture to display for a week and set the frame to only an hour or week (and vice versa).
Adding a Temporary Profile Picture on Facebook
The ability to add a temporary profile picture on Facebook is a brilliant feature, especially if you’re not a heavy social network user. When the time you set for the temporary profile picture expires, it returns to the original picture you used. Also, note that if you want a permanent profile picture it returns to, you’ll need to change your profile picture manually.
Whether you’re a new Facebook user or a seasoned vet, there are probably some Facebook features you’ve not used yet. For example, learn how to change your Facebook username, or check out how to delete videos on Facebook.
Of course, as with all social networks, you might be tired of hearing from troublemakers. In that case, you can mute someone on Facebook. And if you’re done with it, download a copy of your Facebook pictures, videos, and data. After getting your data, go ahead and permanently delete your Facebook account.
Or if you are hanging on to your account, ensure you have two-factor authentication enabled on Facebook to keep your account and data secure.
