Facebook is introducing 5 big changes to user profiles.

TechCrunch says that some users have already been changed for some users to begin testing:

  1. The option to pin Featured Photos to the top of the profile.  This new option allows you to select up to five Featured Photos that will appear pinned to a section at the top of your profile.
  2. Temporary profile pics.  It lets you select a profile pic, but have yours revert to your old pic after a set number of hours, days, or weeks.  There will be tools to for filtering your profile picture.
  3. Easier visibility controls for About info, including a new 100 character Bio field.  Those set to public will now appear immediately on the profile below your profile pic, rather than buried in the About section.
  4. A mobile-centric design with centered profile photos plus big sections for photos and friends.  Facebook has built a mobile-first design. It makes the profile pic or video bigger and puts it in the center of the screen. Below, rather than having those small panels that open to show details on friends and photos, Facebook is giving both their own big sections pinned below the profile pic and above the timeline.
  5. The ability to use a 7-second looping video as your profile pic. Soon you’ll be able to click on your profile picture to upload a new profile video. You tap the record button and can shoot for up to 7 seconds with sound. The looping video will auto-play without sound (unless clicked) on your profile and the feed story about you uploading it. A still cover image you select will appear everywhere else, such as the small thumbnail that appears next to your News Feed stories.
