Do you feel very Greek? If so, Facebook has thought of giving you the opportunity to prove it at any time by adding the flag of your country to your profile photo.
Today's update to the largest social network's code adds nearly 200 flags to the editing box for your profile photo.
To try out the new feature, visit facebook.com/profilepicframes or tap your profile photo and select “Add Frames” on your smartphone. Then search for the flag you want to add to your picture. (The new addition isn’t rolling out to everyone yet.)
The flags on the profile come after Mark Zuckerberg's new manifesto that states his desire to turn Facebook into a platform for a unified global community, but the new feature also carries the risk of mass rifts between different nationalities.
But many also argue that it's a welcome feature. Unlike the full-on flag photos we've seen from time to time after tragic events, these are small flags in the top left corner of your photo, supposedly a more subtle approach, and perhaps somewhat less politically charged.
Flags might at times highlight conflicts, but they could also serve as symbols of unity, when people from different places join forces.
