Lesson: How To View Profile Photos On Facebook

I was walking through Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn today when a man complimented me on my face mask. I was thrilled--I have a seasonal mask and I thought more people would compliment it, but until this afternoon not one person had acknowledged how clever I am. (Well, how clever Zephra is, she made it!) I was also on the phone with my mom, and she wanted to see the mask, seeing that I had already whined, rather petulantly. 

So I advised my mom to pull up my Facebook.

Oh, but it's not my profile photo, my profile photo is a selfie with the Home Depot skeletons!

And then I gave her the wrong directions for how to find the old photo. 

A niche Lesson to be sure, but a public apology nevertheless. 

How To View Profile Photos On Facebook

  1. Go to www.facebook.com and log in, if necessary.

  2. Go to the profile you want to visit. Type the person's name in the search bar, located in the top left corner of the webpage.

  3. Click the individual's profile photo.


  4. A drop-down menu will appear. Choose VIEW PROFILE PICTURE.


  5. Now my profile photo has popped up in its own dialogue box. Click the arrow to the right of the photo to go backward.


  6. There's the photo we were looking for!




But wait, there's another way you could have done this. When you pull up a person's profile, you can click PHOTOS. Then you click ALBUMS.


As you'll see, the first option is PROFILE PHOTOS. You'll see the same results below, without scrolling:
