Following the attacks in Paris yesterday, Facebook has enabled its users to show solidarity with victims, their families and France by adding a French flag filter to their profile images.
Any Facebook user, through either the website or a mobile app, can apply the filter by using the social network’s ’causes’ feature. When you see a friend add the filter to their profile picture, click the ‘Try It’ button that appears in the bottom right corner of the status update.
This should then lead you to a ‘Customize Your Profile Picture’ section, where you can select the cause of France and add the filter. You can also schedule the filter to expire after a specific duration of time, such as one hour, day, week or longer.
Here at AppleMagazine, our thoughts are very much with the attack victims, their families and France.
