More than 70 percent of my Facebook feeds whenever I log in are Profile pictures update. New dress, new car, new partner or a new holiday destination with Eiffel in the backdrop or sometimes a new pout angle- there are all sorts of them. Facebook is all set to offer you more- you know that, right? You can actually upload the romantic song you hummed with your partner in front of the Eiffel tower with all your blushes and moves.

Facebook had announced 7-seconds profile video featuring the last quarter of 2015 and the good news is that this video feature that was being tested on a limited rollout at the end of last year is widely available in the Facebook Android app now. Many Facebook users are now seeing a reference to video profiles appear in the Facebook app when editing their profile pictures.

These profile videos loop continuously so you don't have to restart them all the time. And they autoplay by default, but stay muted until you tap on them to start the sound.

Facebook has been offering a lot of new features to its profile picture tab lately such as the ability to set a temporary profile picture, pin a featured photo to the top of a profile and more prominent profile photo placement on mobile devices.

For those who still don’t see such pop-up have patience, Facebook will inform you when the feature is ready.
