Facebook is making it easier to curate your profile and bio and to determine what the public and only your friends can see such as a one-line “Bio” field and your job, work experience and education.
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. Today we’re starting to test the next step in an obvious evolution of profiles: “profile videos“, the company said in a news release. Snapchat introduced the medium for its users’ “Snapcodes”, QR codes that can be scanned to add someone as a friend on the app and act as their user profile picture, in July. You can record a profile video that’s up to seven seconds long, soundless, and looping, and it’ll play every time someone goes to your profile page on a mobile device.
