How do I send a photo from FB

A reader wants to know how to get a photo from a Facebook page to their email address.

“Do you have any tutorials on how to send a picture that’s on my Android phone’s Facebook page to my email address? I haven’t been able to do that.”

If you have email set up on your phone, it should be pretty easy.  Just hit the share option on the photo.

  1. Hi Cyn,
    When I try this on my laptop, I can click SHARE, but then the next screen shows the picture and a drop down box. I click on the drop down box, all the first level options appear, but NO “More options”. Therefore I never get to the Email option. Why?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    1. You won’t see these options on a browser. You’ll need to save the photo to your computer and then attach it to an email or choose to send via Messenger.
