Perhaps you were too lazy to change it, or you just forgot about it completely. Facebook now has a solution to prevent that from ever happening again.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing\u2026. temporary profile pictures! Not the greatest name for a feature but, until they come up with something else, it will have to do. With temporary profile pictures, you get to set profile pictures that<strong> expire after a certain amount of time<\/strong>. For example, your Santa hat photo could be set to appear from December 20th to January 5th. Outside of those days, your regular profile picture will be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>Scheduling profile pictures could also be useful for many other occasions. For example, to show that you are <strong>on vacation<\/strong> and do not wish to be disturbed, or switching your regular photo to one of you and your <strong>best friend when it\u2019s his birthday <\/strong>\u2013 definitely a pleasant surprise, and more special than a dry and distant greeting on a wall.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-123249\" title=\"meh-facebook\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" width=\"268\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>And finally, the \u201cdislike\u201d button<\/h3>\n<p>In addition, the next Facebook update will make<strong> it easier for you to edit your profile <\/strong>on mobile platforms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, okay, yes, this is all great,&#8221; you must be thinking, &#8220;But what about the rumored dislike button?&#8221; Well so far, <strong>Facebook has not officially commented<\/strong>, but if you are reading this, Mr. Zuckerberg, we would really dislike it if we don&#8217;t get one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you feel that your Facebook profile picture looks a bit dull?
