Once the selected duration expires, the temporary photo will disappear and your most recent profiler will reappear.

The evolution of the Facebook profile has been slow and steady: While the News Feed and your Timeline (née, the Wall) have received a few dramatic (and hated!) updates, the basic elements of the personal profile itself have remained.
Facebook says it’ll be sprucing up the rest of the profile page starting with a refreshed layout.
And Facebook is giving users new controls over what people can see when visiting their profile. You’ve always had a photo that sits on the left-hand side, there’s always been a space to fill out basic information about yourself, and since almost the beginning, finding more photos of you has been really easy to find.
Called a “Profile Video”, the feature will let users create a looping video that will sit at the top of their profile. Content that can be added include one-line bios, show what information you want to appear such as education, work info, etc. and you can also showcase up to five Featured Photos to be displayed at the top of your profile.
“As part Mutual friends will be bumped up, too; Facebook says this is something users want to see when they’re stalking looking at a new friend’s profile (Facebook is right)”.
It’s also remade the business of companies like Facebook, which derived more than 76 percent of its advertising revenue from mobile devices in the three months ended in June.
“Profile pictures are not just static portraits”, Aigerim Shorman and Tony Hsieh, product managers, wrote on the company’s blog.
Facebook’s also making it more convenient for people to change their profile picture briefly, for example around a time specific event like the Superbowl or a vacation, and then specify when it should change back. The biggest change comes as tweaks to the mobile app UI.

The giant social network is rolling out the features to a small number of users on iOS in California and the United Kingdom before introducing the changes more broadly.
