Facebook is testing a feature that allows users to temporarily change their profile pictures and select the time to bring back their current profile pictures.

Twitter user @ForkToPen alerted TechCrunch about the feature, and fellow Twitter user Jennifer Ngo also shared an image of the “set a temporary profile picture” prompt.

A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the test to TechCrunch, saying:
