360-degree photos unfold a world of details, letting users explore intriguing facets and picturesque angles. Although Facebook now supports uploading these immersive visuals, the algorithm is still a work in progress, posing challenges. Today, Software Hacks guides you on the quickest and most beautiful way to post 360-degree photos on Facebook.
1. Posting 360-Degree Photos on Facebook using a Computer
Note: Ensure your 360 images have a 2:1 aspect ratio (double the width). Incorrect ratios will render the 360-degree functionality inactive on Facebook.
Step 1: Right-click on the image and select Properties.
Step 2: Navigate to Details and scroll down to find the Camera section. Then, double-click on the Camera Maker and Camera Model to modify the information.
Step 3: Proceed to add the following information:
- Camera Maker: RICOH
- Camera Model: RICOH THETA S
After that, press OK to apply.
Step 4: Next, proceed to upload the image to Facebook as usual.
Step 5: At this point, you will receive a notification that your photo is being uploaded in 360 degrees mode.
Finally, press Share and witness the result like this:
2. Uploading 360-Degree Photos on Mobile
On mobile devices, it's much simpler as the optimized algorithm recognizes Panorama/360-degree images automatically. Just select the Panorama/360 image and upload it directly; Facebook will handle the rest.
Step 1: Open the Facebook app and choose Photos to start the upload process. Then, select the image you want to post; 360-degree images will have a globe icon in the bottom right corner.
Step 2: Your 360-degree image will be uploaded to Facebook. Share it with friends for them to explore. Note that Facebook currently supports posting only one 360-degree image per post. To post multiple different 360-degree images, repeat the above steps.
There you have it! Software Hacks has guided you on the quickest and most beautiful way to post 360-degree photos on Facebook using both your computer and mobile devices. Wishing you all success!
