Clearing, Whitening, and Removing Profile Picture and Cover Photo on Facebook
On the social network Facebook, if you feel too bored with the existing features, why not make it more interesting? Just like before, Mytour has previously guided you on how to use videos to create a very interesting personal Facebook cover photo. The feature of using a video as a cover photo on Facebook is usually only applied to fan pages, but we can completely apply it to individuals with a very special trick.
Guide to Clearing Your Facebook Profile Picture
Step 1: The first step we need to take before clearing our Facebook profile picture is to upload a video under 30 seconds to our Facebook profile first.
Step 2: Proceed to choose any video under 30 seconds, avoid choosing music videos to avoid copyright issues, as we will use this video to hide the cover photo on Facebook only, so do not try to choose anything fancy.
Step 3: Afterward, proceed to upload the video and let it be posted on Facebook after system verification.
Step 4: After the video is uploaded, click on it and copy the ID address of that video, save it somewhere because we will need it, like in this case 259877111295732.
Step 5: Next, click on the cover photo update section >select artwork photo.
Step 6: Press F12 and then click on the arrow icon after entering the artwork photo selection section.
Step 7: Click on a video you intend to use as artwork.
Step 8: In the Console panel, you will automatically be directed to a section of code, where you will see 2 identical ID sections, replace those 2 ID sections with the ID 259877111295732 you obtained earlier.
After replacing, simply close this Console section by pressing F12 again.
Step 9: Then, click again on the selected video to replace the cover photo for you and see the result.
Step 10: Confirm whether to save or change to Facebook cover photo. After this step, you can also use a video as your Facebook cover.
Step 11: To remove your Facebook profile picture, delete the video from your timeline.
Step 12: After deleting, wait for 30 seconds then press F5 to refresh the page. Your background image and avatar will disappear.
So, we have successfully emptied the Facebook profile picture, removed the Facebook cover photo. To revert, simply upload the image or video again, or upload it on mobile to restore the desktop version.
