The Social networking site Facebook is introducing many news features for improving mobile profiles.
There are three main improvements that will give you more opportunities to express who you are and control the content showcased on your profile.
Facebook is introducing “profile videos“. Soon, you’ll be able to film a short, looping video clip that will play for anyone who visits your profile. Profile videos will let show a part of yourself you couldn’t before, and add a new dimension to your profile.
And, Facebook has started to roll out the ability to set a temporary version of your profile picture that reverts back to your previous profile picture at a specified time.
Now you can create a temporary profile picture specifically for any specific moments and events. It can be a visual status update to let your friends know what’s going on in your life today, or it can be your statement of solidarity for a cause you feel strongly about.
And, Facebook is introducing a new customizable space at the top of your profile. You can curate this space— and convey what you want people to know about you— by changing the visibility of the fields that show up here. You can also fill out the new, one-line ‘Bio’ field: select certain public About fields like work and education details to appear there; and even visually highlight what’s important to you by choosing up to five Featured Photos to be showcased at the top of your profile. While this space is visible to anyone who visits your profile, you have full control of what information appears here.
Facebook is starting to test all of these features to a small number of iPhone users in the UK and California, and it will be rolling them out to more people soon.
