I do not need any square photo as my profile picture. Now, anytime I upload any new picture of choose one of my uploaded pictures, cropping it into a square frame remains my only option. This is one way of cutting out most parts of the picture and sometimes removing other people if it is a group picture. This can be very frustrating. If you uploaded from the app, the app forces you to do this. Please who can help me learn how to upload profile picture on Facebook without cropping it. Thank You!
