How to Change Your Facebook Profile Picture

Are you tired of your old Facebook profile photo? Here's how you can change it, whether you're on mobile or PC.

Your Facebook profile picture represents you on the platform. Appearing next to your comments, on your profile, in the Messenger app, it really is the first impression you put out there to your friends and fellow group members. You likely want a profile picture that reflects you, and if it's been a while since you updated it, you may not be entirely sure how to do it.

Changing your Facebook profile picture is extremely simple and can be done in just a few quick steps.
