I cant see my photos on facebook

With 845 million active users as of the end of 2011, Facebook is a great place to share information. You can invite the public to events, update friends about activities in your life and even upload photos for others to view. Sometimes problems occur that prevent users from accessing your pictures. Editing the privacy settings for your photos ensures that your friends and family can see pictures you post. If your photos or albums vanish but your settings are correct, you may need to contact Facebook for further assistance.

Settings

1. 1.

   Log in to your Facebook account to check the privacy settings on the pictures or albums that people cannot view.

2. 2.

   Navigate to your profile by clicking on your username in the blue bar at the top of your home screen.

3. 3.

   Press the "Photos" link under your cover picture to bring up the individual pictures and albums you have created.

4. 4.

   Click on the small arrow below each picture or album to set the appropriate audience. Those that say "Only Me" are invisible to everyone else. Those that say "Friends" can be seen only by those on your friends list, and those marked "Public" should be viewable by everyone.

Disappeared

1. 1.

   Learn about Facebook's maintenance work. If you check your settings and they all seem fine, then be aware that sometimes pictures temporarily vanish during and just after routine maintenance. A message that Facebook is not available or will return shortly is a sign of such maintenance.

2. 2.

   Log off your account and return in several hours to see if missing photos reappear after maintenance.

   1. Check Facebook Server Status

   Many of the reasons for Facebook pictures not loading are that it’s the result of issues on the side of the user. However, this isn’t always the case, and it’s worth checking the status of the server on Facebook’s developer website to see if they’re having issues. There is an itemized list of issues on the website that gives an idea of past and current issues.
