How Do I Change My Facebook Profile Picture

How Do I Change My Facebook Profile Picture - I have actually made obvious of my distaste for Facebook's interface, which is equal components untidy, complex, as well as outright frustrating.

As an example, mean you wish to change your account picture. Looks like the sort of alternative you might find in, say, Account Setups. Nope, not there. Personal privacy Setups? Nuh-uh.

Well, perhaps if you click your name to open your profile, you'll find the option there. Let's see ... no, there's nothing that states "adjustment profile image." Oh, here we go, I'll wager if you click Update Information ...

One more strike. Just what's that, currently, 4?


How Do I Change My Facebook Profile Picture


This is yet another of Facebook's unbelievably unknown setups that's actually hiding in simple view. (Previous transgressor: location sharing.) To transform your account photo, do this:


1. Open your profile by clicking your name, either on the left side (below the Facebook logo design) or the best side of the toolbar up top.

2. Computer mouse over your existing photo image, click Edit Account Image, after that choose an option (Choose From Photos, Upload Picture, Edit Thumbnail, etc.) from the drop-down menu that appears.





That's right! All this time, the option was right there-- offered you hovered your computer mouse in the ideal place. Come on, Facebook, you can do far better. (Quick note: If you occurred to install one of the Facebook-photo-zoom devices I discussed the other day, you could find that the pop-up image covers the Edit Profile Image tool. Bleh.).

There is, undoubtedly, another way to set about this. If you wish to turn an image that's already in your Facebook collection right into your profile image, you could-- but, again, finding the option can be infuriating unless you know where to look.

Find the picture you want, after that click it to raise the full-size version in its very own window. Currently, see that small gear icon in the upper-right corner? Click it, and after that choose Make Account Image. Why there's not a switch for this alongside Tag Image, Include Area, etc. is beyond me.

Does this worsen you as high as it does me? Or do you assume I'm being excessively severe? In either case, share your ideas in the remarks!
