Now You Can Use Videos As A Facebook Profile Pic, Big Changes Coming


Facebook is bringing many changes to your Profile and you will soon be able to add a 7-second video to your Facebook profile. Read more to know about other changes coming to Facebook. 

Facebook Profile was the center of Facebook experience till 2006 when News Feed took over and changed Facebook. Still, Facebook Profiles are one of the most important aspects of Facebook and so are your Profile Pictures.
Today, in a big redesign change, Facebook is bringing lots of changes to your Facebook Profile.

There are 5 big changes coming to the user profiles. They are:


  • Adding a 7-second looping video as your profile picture
  • Pinning Featured photos at the top of profile
  • Temporary profile pictures
  • Changes to About info with a new 100 character Bio field
  • A new mobile-focused design with bigger pictures


With these changes, Facebook wants to make its decade-old social network more immersive – and addicting, of course. Now you can use videos up to seven seconds to add a new dimension to your profile. This feature is now being tested in small groups in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Apart from this, now you can add a temporary profile picture that will automatically vanish after a specified period of time. Another change related to pictures lets you pin some featured photos at the top of the profile to make it more attractive.


Overall, Facebook is focusing on a more mobile-centric profile and it makes sense given the fact that more and more people are accessing Facebook on their phones.



More changes are coming on Facebook in the upcoming days. Get more information from the official Facebook blog post.

Stay tuned for more updates. Tell us your views about these changes in the comments below.

Never-Before-Seen Photos Emerge From Inside White House During 9/11

Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, never-before-seen photos from inside the White House during the 9/11 attacks have been released. The photos, reportedly captured by a staff photographer, document the reactions of then President, George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney as they watch the horrific incident unfold on live television on September 11, 2001. The majority of the photos were taken in the secure basement of the White House, where Secret Service agents frog-marched top government officials following reports that more attacks were a possibility.

Other senior government officials also feature in the photographs, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, CIA Director George Tenet, Dick Cheney’s law...
