      Tips

      • Changing the background is not public. You’re the only one who can see this, and your Facebook profile design will remain the same when your friends open it.
      • Some backgrounds can only be applied on the log-in page.
      • There are other apps or add-ons that also changes your Facebook background. Some are free while others are paid.
