Last week I explained how to post photos to Facebook using a browser.
In this article I’ll explain how to do it using a mobile Android device. You can post by either opening the Android FB app on your phone or from the Gallery as long as you have the Facebook app on your phone and are logged in.
To post a photo, open the Facebook app and tap on Photo at the bottom of the screen.
You’ll then have the option of choosing a photo saved on your phone or you can tap the camera or video camera icon to take a picture or video.
To choose a photo from your camera roll, just tap to select. You can choose one photo or multiple images. When you are finished, tap Done.
You can also add a photo directly from the Gallery app by selecting an image and tapping the Share icon.
You’ll see options to share through a variety of ways. Scroll down and tap the Facebook icon.
Then you can write a post describing what you’re sharing.
You can tag friends in photos, create an album or set locations at the bottom of the screen.
I prefer creating albums when posting multiple photos as it helps keeps things organized. Otherwise you’ll end up with a huge mobile uploads photo that can make it difficult when you want to do something like find some Thanksgiving photos.
Tap the album icon to create an album.
Then choose Create Album.
Then name the album and tell a little about it.
Then post the the album.
That album will now be part of your Facebook Albums.

Hi! I’ve been posting pictures to my timeline for years now, and some of them are in related ‘daily’ posts I’ve been doing for some time. On April first of this year I started posting ‘Picture of the Day’ pictures [anywhere from one to five per post, and up to three posts in a day], and on May 18 I started a second daily series of messages [also on my timeline] with pictures and reviews of books in Fantasy and Science Fiction series [including descriptions and links to external review sources in the messages]. Now, I’d like to move the pictures I’ve been sending for the past hundred or so days to two new albums – one for the Dragon pictures; and the other for the Books. Is there any easy way to do this, or will I have to upload all of the pictures again to get them into the desired albums? I do have all of the pictures on my hard drive, and all of the text that went into the messages saved in a word++ document. I’d really appreciate any help or suggestions.
—–Thanks, Jerry.
Rereading the text I just posted, I noticed that I neglected to mention that the ‘Picture of the Day’ posts are of Dragons [paintings, figurines, jewelry, cartoons, etc.] and those are the ‘Dragon pictures’ referred to later in the message. Thanks again, JSM
