I've tested this on ZTE OPEN C v1.3 and I was able to use a pic from the gallery of my device (NOT previously uploaded to FB) as my profile picture.

Also, I was able to use as profile picture one taken directly with the camera of the device and NOT previously uploaded to FB

The issue may be because, when trying to change your profile picture there is a big button that says "Add a Photo" and if you press it does nothing. If you tap, instead on the picture shown just above that big button you are able to change your profile pic.

Can anyone else confirm that it works so we can close it?

This is by design.  Thank you for reporting the update, Jose.  Closing this bug as you suggested.

Hi all

I've noticed that I was referring to the PROFILE picture and not the cover photo which was the issue of this bug.
It is not possible to use a picture from the gallery or the camera as a COVER photo if not preloaded previously to FB although I understand that this is the intended UX

Therefore, let's keep this bug as fixed unless you think it's worth reopening

Agreed.
