Could still profile photos soon be things of the past? They might be, if Facebook has anything to do with it. The social network is trying out seven second looping profile videos. The change is being tested as part of a larger profile redesign for mobile. Other changes include a person’s profile photo or video appearing exactly in the middle of the phone screen, the ability to add writing to profile photos or videos, and setting a profile photo that expires after a certain amount of time. Mashable reports iPhone users in California and the U.K. were the first to have access to the new profile videos, beginning yesterday (September 30th.) It’s expected to roll out to the larger user base in the near future. (Consumerist) (Image: Flickr.com)
