How do I put photos taken on my phone on FB via computer?

LindsayT

Hi all, I'm new to FB and mobile phone. I'm not tech savvy but use a computer for browsing and email. I recently joined FB and have a lot of things I will never use, so wanted to advertise them on there. Is there a simple way I can take photos on my phone and put them on FB via my computer?

No need to involve your computer, just use the Facebook app on your phone, it will search the photos that are on your phone.

I've tried to log into FB on my phone and I can't log in, I don't know why but also my eyes are not that good for a small device, hence why I use the computer for everything.

Email the photos to yourself,

open up your email program on the pc

download the photos and then upload to Facebook.

Probably sounds like a stupid question to you but how do I then upload them to FB?

It's fairly simple to "share" them on FB. You can create "albums" if you want to organise them a bit. See the help link here: https://www.facebook.com/help/118731871603814

What type of phone do you have, Iphone or Android?

If Android, and assuming you have a Google account, then your photos are going to be backed up, so all you have to do is open up google.co.uk, make sure you're logged in to your Google account, click on the Google Apps icon at the top right of the page (it's the small square with 9 dots) and select the Photos app. From there you can download the pics you want directly onto your PC to be shared to your FB pages. You can also share them directly from within the Photos app.

Or even this is a quicker way than I described.

Note that the photos stored in Google Photos may not be the full resolution as taken by your phone camera (depending on your settings - most people use the "free" storage which means that Google compresses the photos somewhat when uploading. The compressed versions will still be more than adequate for Facebook posts though).

Same method exists for iThing devices, just install Apple iCloud software to your PC, put in your Apple account credentials and it will sync all your phone photos to your PC.

you need to synchronize photos on your phone and laptop (if you have an iPhone and a MacBook) or transfer them through the airdrop (turning on bluetooth), or if you have an android phone, just download a photo from your phone to a laptop (via a USB cable for example)
