FAQ

Why Is It Important to Give Access to Photos To Your Facebook App?

It is very important to give your Facebook app all the necessary permissions and accesses, especially Photos.

If you do not give it the access to photos, then you won't be able to post any photo or video on your Facebook account from your 'Photos' gallery. This is because Facebook would not be able to access your 'Photos' app.

Why Can't I Share Photos From My iPhone To Facebook?

Make sure to give your Facebook app the acces to 'Photos'.

Still if you are not able to share photos, then the possible reasons might be:

  • You might not have the most recent version of the Facebook app.
  • You can also try to close and restart the Facebook app.
  • Or, try to restart or update your mobile iPhone.
  • Also, make sure that you are using the most recent version of the iOS operating system for your iPhone. If not, then you can easily update by going to the app store in your iPhone or Play Store in your Android device.
