Is there any way to change the user\'s profile picture using the graph api?

I know you can\'t with the rest api (reference), but I could not find anything in the new

I had this problem too. I've managed to upload a profile picture using this endpoint.

This link provides information about how to upload a profile picture

        private async uploadProfilePhoto(pageId:string, accessToken: string, photoUrl: string){
            let url = FACEBOOK_API_URL + `${pageId}/picture`+ 
                `?access_token=${accessToken}`+
                `&picture=${photoUrl}`;
            let response = null;

            try {
             response = await axios({
                method: 'post',
                url:  url,
            }); 
            } catch (err) {
                /**  Here this error occures but the profile image is still uploaded. 
                 * {message: 'Unsupported post request.', type: 'GraphMethodException', code: 100, fbtrace_id: 'AGhsadasdaiqyf_YHJaztdasdadG7'
                 */           
            }

            return response;
        }

Then to get the id of the profile picture in case you need it you can perform a get request on this endpoint.

const FACEBOOK_API_URL ='https://graph.facebook.com/v7.0/'
let url = FACEBOOK_API_URL + `${pageId}/photos`+
            `?access_token=${accessToken}` +
            `&fields=picture`;
