Facebook profile images expire after a year

Need help Plugins
1

In my app, for users who signed up more than 1 year ago, their profile pictures are broken. I assume Facebook does this as a security measure. When you try to go to the picture url, you get the message:

URL signature expired

I guess going forward I should select Saved to S3 so that they are saved on Bubble.

Any idea on how to update pictures for existing users (without manually downloading and uploading)? I tried to do it using an API workflow but the picture just gets wiped. Does Facebook allow API access to these photos except when logging in?

I’m having the same problem, even though with me the picture is broken after less than a year (I’d say half a year). In the end I guess we would (ideally) want dynamic profile pictures, that change when the user changes his/her Facebook profile picture. Not a big deal to me (as long as they have a profile picture), but any solutions/workarounds to this?
