Facebook photo features you must be using

Uploading photos on Facebook is a rather easy affair. But are you making the most of the experience? The people behind Facebook suggest photo features you should be using on the social network.

Select your audience

You can tailor-fit your image posts to a specific group of friends on Facebook. Select the drop down menu the right hand corner of the album to pick who can view a set of photos, including ‘Friends’, ‘Public’, ‘Custom’, or ‘Only Me’. You can even do this to individual images by selecting the audience selector tool beside the post button.

Create shared albums

If you attend weddings or other special events, it would be a good idea to create a shared album with your friends instead of everyone uploading the same shot one too many times. You can even let people who were at the even share photos on the album even if they aren’t your friend on Facebook.

 

Share albums outside of Facebook

While on the topic of sharing, you can share your albums to people not on Facebook, too. Just click on the gear icon at the top right corner of an album and select the ‘Get Link’ option. Simply copy and paste the link and email it to the friend you want to share your memories with.

Keep track of your personal photo tags

There are just some photos you don’t want be tagged in. Facebook will help you keep track of your photo tags through the Activity Log. Just activate the ‘Timeline Review’ feature through Settings function to let you review and approve tags before they show up on your timeline.
