Facebook allows you to add a temporary profile picture to your account. When you upload a temporary profile picture, it automatically expires after a certain amount of time. Your former profile picture will take its place when the expiry duration of your temporary profile picture gets completed.
People often celebrate specific events or support important causes by changing their profile pictures for a certain duration of time. Initially, people had to manually restore their profile picture after some duration of time.
But, the feature of a temporary profile picture will save you that trouble by automatically vanishing the temporary profile and putting back your original profile picture.
