Cover photo's id was changed when it was rechose
1

Hi guys,

I'd like to confirm a behavior of Facebook's cover photo.

At first my cover photo's post_id is 503815916439094_683361847136672, but after I picked another image to use as the cover, and then re-chose the first photo back as the cover, its post_id was changed to 503815916439094_381736517970214.

Via Facebook's own platform, I can access the photo on Facebook with https://www.facebook.com/503815916439094_683361847136672 ,but https://www.facebook.com/503815916439094_381736517970214 takes me nowhere. while https://www.facebook.com/100063885882631/posts/683361847136672/ and https://www.facebook.com/100063885882631/posts/381736517970214/ takes me to a different post (id and post_date was changed), but both come with the same content and comments.

So, I'd like to confirm that though they appears the same on the platform, Facebook considers them as different posts with different ids, right?

Thank you in advance.
