Facebook has made a new feature available to its users, enabling the addition of a beloved country’s flag to their profile picture. Going beyond flags, users can now embrace personalization with picture frames that allow for the expression of support for a cause or institution. Facebook continues to build on its array of options, having introduced over 200 country flags into its profile maker. This feature is easily accessible from the profile picture setting. You can select your desired cause or flag by simply typing the name in the search bar. The chosen emblem will then be displayed prominently in the top left corner of your updated profile picture.
Taking a test run of this feature is straightforward. For desktop users, navigate to facebook.com/profilepicframes. Mobile users can access the feature by tapping the profile photo and selecting the “Add frame” option. The final step for both methods involves typing your country’s name into the search bar.
Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has said that one of the company’s goals is to bring people together through our diversities. However, with this goal comes potential risks, including the misuse of diversity and the potential for discrimination. On a brighter note, revealing a user’s origins can also lead to more relevant and meaningful interactions on the platform. In the end, how this functionality is perceived and utilized relies heavily on individual interpretation.
Prior to the debut of this feature, Facebook already allowed users to change their profile pictures into a tinted overlay of a country’s flag. This was usually initiated as a show of solidarity following a tragedy like an attack or natural disaster.
