If you feel like your profile needs a bit of an upgrade, that’s ok! Everyone has their own version of “updated self.” To get started on your new and improved (and more professional) Facebook profile, take a moment to update and delete your cover photo and other information. Read on for detailed instructions on how to delete a cover photo as well as other tips for updating your profile as a whole.

How To Set Up A Facebook Profile?
Change Your Profile Photo
Your profile picture is the first thing people see when they visit your profile, which means it has to be good. Choose a photo that represents your professional brand and be sure it’s clean, well-lit, and in focus. Facebook suggests uploading a picture that’s at least 200 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall. Remember, you are building your online reputation, so keep this in mind when choosing a profile picture. In terms of what you should wear in your profile picture, the general rule of thumb is to err on the side of caution. Keep in mind that your profile picture might be seen by your employer or clients; don’t wear anything that might be inappropriate.
Delete the Background Photo
Another image that comes with your Facebook profile is a background photo. This is the image that appears behind all the information on your profile. If you want to update your background photo, you will first want to delete the old one. To do this, click on the “Edit Profile” option at the top of your Facebook page. Select “Add a cover photo” and then upload a new image. Once you click “Save Changes,” the old image will be deleted from your profile. Make sure you upload an image that matches your brand image. If you’re not sure what image to use, check out stock photo websites like Shutterstock, iStock, or Adobe Stock for options.
Edit your About Info
As you update your profile photo and background image, you’ll probably notice that there is a “short bio” section below your profile photo. This is where you can change your About info. To do this, click on the “Edit Profile” button again, click “Edit About,” and select the radio button next to “Add a short bio.” In the dialog box that pops up, you can add your professional title and a short description of your work. Be sure to include things like what you specialize in and any credentials that you have. When you’re done, click “Save Changes” to update your short bio. Be sure to proofread this section, as it will appear on any posts you make on Facebook.
Fix up your Job Title and Company info
If you have a job title, or if you work at a certain company, you should definitely include that in your About info. To do this, open the “About” section of your Facebook profile by clicking “Edit Profile” and then “Edit About.” Next to your profession or company, select “Add a job title” or “Add a company.” If you choose to add a company, you can enter the name of the company and select “Add“; then, select the “Company“ option from the drop-down menu below. You can also add your job title by clicking “Add a job title“ and selecting the option that best describes your position. When you’re done, click “Save Changes” to update your company and job title.
Update your Contact Info
If you have a phone number or email address listed, you can edit those as well to make sure they’re up to date. Similar to adding your job title and company, you can do this by opening the “About” section of your Facebook profile by clicking “Edit Profile” and then “Edit About.” Find your phone number or email address and select “Edit.” Be sure to update both your phone number and email address if they need to be changed, as these are very important parts of your contact information. If you don’t have a phone number or email address listed, you can add them by clicking “Add a phone number“ or “Add an email address.” Select the option that applies to you, enter the information, and click “Save Changes” to finish updating your contact info.
Delete Unwanted Ads
As you update your Facebook profile, you might notice that a few new ads have popped up. These ads may be for businesses or for products that you’ve “Liked” on Facebook. If you don’t want these ads, you can delete them. Simply click on the ad you want to delete and select “Remove“; then, click “Remove” again to confirm that you want the ad gone. The ads you see will depend on a variety of factors, including your demographic (like your age or location), your online activity, and the types of apps you have installed on your phone. You can manage these ads by clicking on the “Ad Preferences” link on your Facebook profile. From here, you can adjust the types of ads you see, as well as manage ad settings for your phone
