How to change your Facebook profile picture to a German flag and send a German flag Emoji
Following the news that at least 12 people have been killed in a terror attack on a Christmas Market in Berlin, people have been taking to social media to share their messages of solidarity with the people of Germany.
Since the attack, social media users have been sending their messages on Twitter using the hashtag #IchBinEinBerliner and others have taken to adding a German flag filter over their Facebook picture to show their condolences.
Adding a flag to your own Facebook picture is really easy.
All you need to do is open up the Flagify app on Facebook and click "sign in and flagify your profile picture."
You'll need to allow the app access to your Facebook profile.
Once you've signed in, you'll see a preview of how the filter looks on your profile picture, but don't click the share button.
Instead, save the image.
Once it is saved you can click back onto your Facebook wall and click the button to update your profile picture, where you can upload your new image.
A screen should pop up allowing you to resize and crop the image before it's posted and you can choose to make the filter temporary so that it will go back to your old profile picture after a set amount of time.
