Why cant I post multiple pictures on Facebook

I see on my iPhone there are people who post and you see one picture and you can swipe to the left and other pictures come up as well. I can't see anywhere to post multiple pictures when you post so I am trying to figure out how these people do that.

Does anyone know how to post multiple pictures when you post?

When you actually post on facebook, you can only upload one photo or video.

What your friends have done is uploaded a bunch of photos in an album, and after the upload was successful, facebook asked them to post about the photos that just uploaded - only in this post there can be more than one photo, not in your ordinary post.

I think what you're looking for is to share an album. From your Facebook stream page, click Add photo/video, and select Create photo album.

This will let you upload any number of photos, and share them on your stream.

I had the same issue, easily resolved. Put the pictures in a folder on the Facebook page, then make a link. Very easily done.

Facebook lets you post single images directly to your Timeline. To include multiple images in a single post, create a note. Notes contain fewer photos and more text than photo albums, arranging content similarly to blog posts. For example, following your company's presentation at a conference, using a Facebook note allows you to post four photos as well as detailed commentary. To arrange photos within the post, you must use Facebook's graphical uploader and then edit the note's code.

Add Notes to Your Page

1. Open your Facebook page as a page admin.

2. Click the arrow in the page's Apps section to add additional blank boxes.

3. Click the "+" symbol on a blank box to open a drop-down menu.

4. Click "Notes" to add the Notes application.

Post Images in a Note

1. Click the Notes box to open your Notes page.

2. Click "Write a Note" to create a new note.

3. Type the post's text.

4. Click "Add a Photo" to open the photo uploading pane.

5. Click "Choose a File" to launch the Open dialog box.

6. Navigate to and select a photo to upload it and add the following code to your post's body:

7. Repeat the previous two steps with your other photos.

8. Move each photo's code to set the photo's position within the note's body.

9. Click "Publish."

A variety of problems can get in the way of you posting pictures to your Facebook account: a browser issue, a problem with the size or format of the photos, or even a technical fault with Facebook itself. If you're posting from a mobile device, troubleshoot the app you're using. An unstable connection to the Web can also cause difficulties with posting pictures.

Browser Issues

1. The Facebook photo upload tool makes use of Adobe Flash, so ensure your browser is running the latest version of the plugin, which can be downloaded from Adobe's site. In addition, ensure you are running the most recent version of your browser, which includes the newest compatibility patches and bug fixes. If you find you can upload photos in an alternative browser program, disabling the extensions running on your default browser or uninstalling and reinstalling the application may fix the issue.

Photo Formats

1. Facebook can experience problems with images more than 15MB in size, or saved in formats other than JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF and TIFF. You may have to shrink your pictures or convert them to a different format before they can be uploaded successfully. If you are struggling to upload images that have been processed in a photo editor application, try using the original images instead.

Facebook Faults

1. Temporary technical faults with the Facebook platform can knock out the service and prevent you from uploading pictures. Wait a few minutes before attempting the upload again to see if this is the case. Any known problems or issues with Facebook's network are usually reported on the Facebook Developer Platform Status page or within the Facebook Help pages.

Mobile Apps

1. Problems posting photos from a mobile device such as a phone or tablet can often be solved by rebooting your device to clear out any temporary files or data that may have been corrupted. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Facebook app may also resolve the issue, as this resets the app's configuration settings and enables you to reestablish the connection to the Facebook site. Always keep your mobile operating system updated to the newest version to ensure compatibility with Facebook and its apps.

Internet Connection

1. If you have an unstable or intermittent connection to the Internet, it may prevent you from transferring large amounts of data (such as photos) while smaller uploads (such as text) work without any problems. Use a connection test site such as Speedtest.net to determine the strength and quality of your link to the Web. If possible, switch to a more stable connection or try disconnecting and reconnecting again.
