The option to add a temporary Facebook profile picture was a very well received feature for many users. It was now possible to observe a special occasion or cultural event by applying a temporary profile picture. The best part? It reverts to your default image on its own, after the appropriate time for observance has passed, whether that is an hour or up to a few years.
Now, we will show you how exactly to add a temporary Facebook profile picture to your account.
How to Set Temporary Facebook Profile Picture
Step 1: After logging in you should see an ‘Edit Profile’ option at the top left of your screen. Clicking it will allow you to access the ‘Update Profile Picture’ when you take your cursor over your profile picture.
Step 2: Once you do that, you will be allowed to choose any image you want, whether that’s from your PC, webcam or Facebook profile is totally up to you.
Step 3: After selecting and cropping your desired image you will see an option in the bottom left called ‘Make Temporary’. Clicking it will display a drop down menu from which you can finalize your choice to add a temporary Facebook profile picture. You can select preset durations for your display picture ranging from an hour to a week.
Step 4: There is also an option to set a custom time and date, so it’s totally up to you if you want a profile picture for 2 days 9 hours and 17 minutes. It’s important to be specific you know?
A week after (in our case) you set up a temporary Facebook profile picture, it will be reverted back to the previous one.

On the Profile Pictures Frames page, you will only see a few frames to choose from but that’s just because you are in the default ‘General’ category.
The drop down menu in the top middle portion of the screen will give further categories such as movies, causes, and gaming.
