Your FB Profile Pics and Cover Photos

[Deleted]

That FB Gem, while stupid overall, does bring up a decent point about not using your kids as your profile/cover photos.

I thought I was fairly locked-down on Facebook, but I took a look at what the public sees and totally forgot that the public can see all profile and cover photos, and my kid is in some! 

But then it was just fun to see photos through the years of myself.  VAIN.

Take a screenshot of yours and share!

(Or, if not a screenshot, post a few of your faves.)

I can't figure out how to screen shot my pictures small enough to post here. But, as of the past few years, it's been mostly me, or me and my husband, or me with my kids. Before, when I was a lot heavier, I never posted or used pics of myself. Plus, I only had one kid so she was always my profile pic. My cover photo is usually some sort of landscape pic or seasonal thing. Although now it's our family on the jumbotron at CBP.

I think you can make profile pics and cover photos private now? You just have to change the setting for each photo, rather than the whole album.

I'm pretty sure every single one of them is with David.

FB lets your change the privacy settings of your profile/cover pics -- minus the current pics -- to just your friends.

I don't change them very often, but these are my favorites:

Young and childless on vaca yelling at a shark.





Baby Ollie! ?

And I just realized my mouth is wide open in 3 of these. That is not usually the case. Lol.

I can't "view as" on mobile, but I'm pretty sure my cover photos are public. So is my IG, though I go back and forth on that.

Yay!  Thanks!  I just locked down the ones with misotiny.

There's definitely a setting that hides them. All you can see on mine is 1 cover photo of mine, and it's just some palm trees. If i remember correctly, when you change this setting, you have to click something that retroactively applies the setting and then you're all set. None of your pictures will be visible to public.

Wait, did you make misotiny into a sushi? lolol love it! I might steal the idea this year.

[meggers5]

Lord knows I don't have good sense when it comes to not oversharing pics online.

I'm happy to be a part of misotiny's security detail!

One of my fav profile pics.



And a couple of my fav cover pics.

[fryjack2]

I rarely change mine. It has been a picture of H and I from our rehearsal dinner for years.

I recently changed it to this:

[illgetthere]

I stopped using kid pics as profile pics when I found out h's estranged mom that he hasn't seen in 14 years had printed them and has them framed in her house. Yeah....
It might not be a bad idea to see what else she can see

[humpty]

This is my favorite cover photo.

[brighton]

I never know what to use for a cover photo.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Indeed!  Complete with ginger/wasabi on top!  verycontrary247 made the costume! (heart)

All I had to do was put misotiny in a white onesie!

With her sushi chef

How she really felt about the costume

[captainobvious]

I think if you click on "limit past posts" it'll hide almost all the photos without having to do it individually, but I could be wrong.

I never take pictures of myself so most of them are from my wedding.

My current profile pic from 25ish years ago.  We might not have been sober here...

[NothingWrongwithOhio]

I had many more profile pics than I thought:



I actually only have ever had 3 cover photos:

[slcjess]

 My current cover photo has my niece and nephew. I don't have any kids so my profile pics are all meeeeeee! I hope no one dognaps my dog though.

Almost every single one of my picture includes my kids. In fact, the only one that doesn't include a child is a bragpic (Is that a word? It should be a word) of Abby spelling Mommy (with 6 Ms) and Abby (backwards) with blocks when she was 2.5.

I can't screen shot, so here are some of my favorites:
