    data = SocialAccount.objects.filter(user=user, provider='facebook')
    # check if the user has signed up via social media
    if data:
        picture = data[0].get_avatar_url()
        if picture:
            # custom def to save the pic in the profile
            save_image_from_url(model=profile, url=picture)
        profile.save()
