Facebook is currently testing a new feature which will allow users to
temporarily set a new profile picture, which will then go away after
a fixed period of time.
According to TechCrunch, the new Temporary Profile Picture feature, that’s slated for a broader roll-out, will allow users to change their picture and revert to the old one after a set number of hours, days or weeks.

In conversation with TechCrunch, Facebook stated,
“We often see people use their profile pictures to support a cause,
root for a team, and commemorate milestones like birthdays and
anniversaries. Today, we’re testing a new feature that allows you to set
a temporary profile picture for a specified period of time.”
The company also pointed out that, “Temporary profile
pictures make it easier to to express who you are and how you’re feeling
at a given moment, without having to worry about changing your profile
picture back later.”
Those who receive the feature will be able to see an
option to set an expiration date when they select a new profile picture.
As soon as one reaches the expiration date, the profile picture reverts
back to the old one without publishing a News Feed story announcing the
change
