You can now set a 7-second looping video as your Facebook profile picture. The update was rolled out by Facebook as a part of multiple other changes that will let users better personalise their Facebook profiles and control their privacy settings more easily.

Facebook has sought to improve and ease its mobile profile experience as it makes more of its $10 billion-plus in annual ad revenue off of phones. The updates also come during New York City's 12th Advertising Week, where Facebook is courting the world's largest advertisers and companies.
