Changing your cover photo toggle

Set a cover photo to give your profile more personality. You can use any image you like, or a video that's up to 15 seconds long.

Note: On some devices, only still images can be set as the cover photo.

To change your cover photo:

1. Tap your own name at the top of the Home/Friends tab, or tap your profile icon or name on Timeline.

2. Tap Edit profile > the cover photo at the top of the screen.

Note: You can also tap and hold the background image, then tap Select profile cover.

3. Select a photo or video, trim it, and tap Next.

4. Edit the photo or video any way you like, then tap Done.

Note: If you use a video, you need to choose which part of the video you want to play. You can do this after trimming the size.

When you set or change your cover photo, it will be posted to your story. If you don't want your cover photo to be shared in your story, uncheck Share to stories on the editing screen.
