This option, which is no longer shown on the social network support page, was introduced exclusively to users who subscribed to Twitter Blue in January 2022, before Elon Musk purchased the platform.

This feature allowed users to personalize their profile images with NFT files they owned and link their crypto wallets to their X accounts. Additionally, the image was displayed in a hexagon shape to indicate that it was an NFT.
But, X has now removed the feature of profile pictures containing NFT files from the options offered to X Premium subscribers on its support page and has begun to exclude this option on the social network.
(Interesting: These are some of the mobile devices that will be introduced in January 2024).
TechCrunch confirmed that users who already have a profile picture containing an NFT file are still viewing their profile as a hexagon. It shows that the feature is still active in some accounts.
X’s stance on whether it will permanently remove support for NFT profile images remains unclear.
Additionally, the Elon Musk-owned company has revealed its plans for this year, focusing on being “the ‘app’ of everything,” emphasizing payments as well as the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve users’ and advertisers’ experiences.
