Facebook 360 Photos

Facebook is known for the huge marketing opportunity it affords business women who are interested in how to get more clients and make more money in their businesses. 

Well, get ready for a whole new way to share experiences on Facebook – straight from the newsroom, all users will soon be able to upload 360 photos to the platform.

Photos were introduced on Facebook more than a decade ago, and they quickly became one of the main ways that people share their experiences with the world. Hundreds of millions of photos are shared on Facebook each day, from products, services, fun snapshots to photos of major life milestones, and everything in between.

For the first time, you can now easily share 360 photos on Facebook. Simply take a panorama with your phone or capture a 360-degree photo using a 360 photo app or 360 camera, and then post it on Facebook as you would a normal photo. From there, we’ll convert it to an immersive 360 photo that people can explore, similar to how people experience 360 videos on Facebook.

This is certain to increase the way business owners and online marketers share their products and service offerings on Facebook!  Clients can explore your business through 360 photos!

How Do I Take 360 Photos?

I use an Android. Go into your camera, hit Mode and select Panaroma.

​

• Open the Facebook app and share the photo as you would any other photo: tap the status tool from the top of your Timeline or News Feed, select Photo/Video, choose the photo you want to share, and tap Post.

• Once your photo is posted, look around in your photo — or any other 360 photo in News Feed that’s marked with the compass icon — by moving your phone or dragging with your finger. Tap on the photo to view it in full screen.

• On Samsung Gear VR-compatible phones, you’ll see a button in the top left corner of your photo that says “View in VR.” If you tap on that button and insert your phone into your Gear VR headset, you can see your 360 photo in virtual reality.
