Hi and welcome to the Forum!
Photos have to be uploaded to Facebook first, press attach then once it's uploaded tap the photo and when it loads tap the top right hand side and some buttons will appear, press the box with an arrow and you will be presented with a list of options, one of which is Make Profile Picture.
I use the app for the Forum, there is a link to the App store below. To upload a photo in the app, press the box with the arrow, top right and select reply to thread, compose your post then press Advanced top right, and a page will load with some options, select Attach a photo and your Photos will appear, select your photo and it will upload then just press the arrow to the right of the photo and it will go back to your post with your photo attached. Press send, top right.
