- 9 years ago
To keep its decade-old social network lively, Facebook is introducing five big changes to user profiles, which are viewed 4 billion times per day.
Such as the option to pin Featured Photos to the top of the profile, temporary profile pics, easier visibility controls for "About" info including a new 100 character Bio field, A mobile-centric design with centered profile photos plus big sections for photos and friends and the best one, The ability to use a 7-second looping video as your profile pic.
The features begin rolling out and testing today for some users.
Together, these changes should make Facebook more visually stimulating and addicting.
As other networks like Twitter introduce auto-play video like Facebook did, and Snapchat adds animated selfie lenses and its own profile GIFs, Facebook has to stay a step ahead in the graphic arms race.
