Where do I start if I want to create Facebook app to customize profile picture? I could not find documentation for that.

I see someone made an app to set #starwars themed profile picture. And below, there's a suggestion to customize my own profile photo: customize profile photo footer

Clicking Try it button, I get such dialog: facebook customize profile picture

Anyone knows where it's documented or how to create similar app? Thanks.

Update: Yes I know about Facebook API to get and set profile picture, but I'm interested if there's a way to create these new style apps which opens on top of feed as a dialog? And also how to add these "Try it" buttons in news feed?

  • Hey, what's wrong with this question? Tried to google that. Could not find it, but it does not mean, the API is not available. – ViliusK Jan 31 '17 at 22:04

That´s an official App from Facebook, you can´t create something like that on your own. Of course you can create an App to authorize the User, load his profile picture and change it, but you can´t directly set a new one like in that official App.

There´s probably hundreds of threads about this already, for example:

Either way, the question is WAY too broad for Stackoverflow, you should take the tour: https://stackoverflow.com/tour

Don't ask about...Questions you haven't tried to find an answer for (show your work!)

About that "try now" button, you could try the suggestions i made in another thread: Facebook Post Call to Action button using Graph API
