Facebook has launched a new artificial intelligence feature enabling users to animate their profile pictures. This update transforms static photos into dynamic, GIF-like visuals using preset animations, offering options like 'natural,' 'party hat,' 'confetti,' 'wave,' and 'heart.'

The company plans to introduce more animation choices throughout the year to coincide with seasonal events and special occasions. For optimal results, Facebook recommends photos featuring a single person clearly visible and facing the camera, without holding objects.
