How To Upload Photos To Facebook Via Email
Taking pictures during vacations and other special occasions means a lot to anyone, especially if they want to share it with friends and other people. But not all the time do they have access to Internet or Facebook, so uploading will have to wait. They might also be busy with work and can only use their e-mail at the moment. In such cases, Facebook has prepared a solution – posting and uploading photos via e-mail.
Looking for your personalized Facebook e-mail address
To look for your personalized Facebook e-mail address, follow these instructions:
- First, on your phone, go to facebook.com/mobile, and under the E-mail section, look for Upload Photos.
- Look for the special e-mail address (e.g. yourname@m.facebook.com) and save it to your e-mail address book.
Uploading Facebook photos via e-mail
To upload your photos to Facebook using your e-mail, follow these instructions:
- Use the personalized e-mail address you found earlier on the Facebook mobile page.
- Create a new e-mail, attach the photos you want to upload and put in the subject header your caption for the photo. Send it afterwards.
Important note: do not share this personalized e-mail with anyone, as this is just similar as sharing your password with them. It is for private purposes only, unless you share your account with someone else.
Secondary note: when you send an e-mail without photo attachments, it automatically becomes a status message. It also uploads it with Public settings by default, but you can change that later when you log in to Facebook. It also might take some time for Facebook to upload your photos depending on the size of the photos and the speed of the e-mail, so be patient. Videos are also supported by this e-mail upload option.
Conclusion
You do not have to wait for long if you are stuck in a situation where you cannot access Facebook at the moment but want to upload and share your vacation pictures or other photos that you would like to upload on your Facebook account. You can use this technique, especially if you have your mobile phone with you. Feel free to share this technique with your family and friends.
