Facebook Set To Enable Animated Profile Pictures

Facebook is making changes to rules concerning its profile picture feature: Mobile users will be able to use 7-second long homemade GIFs as their main picture on the site.


The new features adds some creativity to your Facebook profile, something well needed as the social network is over a decade old, and needs to keep pace with Tumblr and Snapchat, where The Youth are quickly migrating.


A user can soon hold down a record button and create a 7-second video that will welcome whomever decides to check your profile.


It can be with sound or without, and a still thumbnail you pick will show up as your profile pic on non-mobile platforms.


Currently, the feature is only available on mobile for beta testers in the UK and California, coming to the rest of us “soon.”
