Admittedly, there hasn't been many changes when it comes to Facebook profile pictures. It has been sidelined by numerous other recent additions to the social networking site like posting comments with GIFs.
Yesterday, Facebook announced that profiles are getting a significant change – the result is the addition of profile videos

The new feature, which is currently being tested by selected groups of people in the US and UK, replaces your normal profile picture with a 7-second loop video. Also, notice the position of profile picture has been changed from the top-left corner to the center.

Further updates include a new "pinned" section that allows you to select up to five images that will remain at the top of your profile page

Facebook users with the feature could take a selfie video from their phone or upload any video clip that's 7-seconds long. As of now, there are reportedly no restrictions in size, profile videos will be automatically cropped to suit the square-sized frame we're used to.
