How To Replace Your Facebook Profile Photo from your iPhone

I get asked all the time how to replace a Facebook profile photo from an iPhone. Here is a quick tutorial.

Step One. Save the image on your iPhone.

If you took the image with your camera, then you are all set. If it was emailed to you or messaged to you, you must save it to your phone. This example shows how to save an email attachment.
Click on the photo in your email. You will see a little box with an arrow in the bottom left corner. Tap that.


Next select Save Image.

Now the image is saved to your phone.

Step Two - Select Your Facebook Profile Photo

Open the Facebook App on your iPhone. Click on your photo in the newsfeed. Don't click on the Story icon.

You will be taken to your profile Screen. Click on the little Edit bottom on your profile photo.


Now you will be asked how to add your photo. Click on Select Profile Picture.
You will be taken to your camera roll on your iphone. Select the photo you saved to your iPhone earlier.

Step 3. Crop and Change your profile photo

You are almost done. Look at the photo in the square. If you don't like how it fits in the square click edit.

Drag the photo around the square until you like the crop. Don't be afraid if it is tight. You want your face to fill the square. 

Now hit done. You will be asked if you want to finish and change the photo. Hit change.
Your new photo is now on Facebook. Congratulations!
