Users can then view these photos by moving their phone around. They work a bit like panoramic photos but are a bit nicer. Until now you needed a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party app to take these types of photos but now you can do them in the Facebook app. Like with their WhatsApp updates Facebook didn\u2019t make too much noise about this new feature so let\u2019s have a look at it in greater detail.<\/p>\n<h2>How to take 360\u00ba photos and update them to Facebook<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Install the latest version of Facebook on Android or iOS<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll need the most up to date version of the Facebook (<a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.en.softonic.com\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Android<\/a>) or (iPhone) app to take 360\u00ba photos. If you can\u2019t find the feature on your version of Facebook, check your updates to see if any are pending or need authorization.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Select the 360\u00ba Photo option on your Profile<\/h3>\n<p>Then you need to go to Update Status in your profile and scroll down. Just below Tag People you should see the option for 360\u00ba Photo.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-93237\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/facebook-fotos-360-app.jpg\" alt=\"facebook-fotos-360-app\" width=\"550\" height=\"489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/facebook-fotos-360-app.jpg 620w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/facebook-fotos-360-app-300x267.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Press the Blue Button and Start Spinning<\/h3>\n<p>This bit works just like taking a panoramic photo except that you\u2019ll perform a full 360\u00ba turn before the camera stops snapping. Remember to try and hold the camera as steady as possible without moving it up or down.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Share your 360\u00ba Photo<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve finished taking your full 360\u00ba photo all that is left to do is share it.<\/p>\n<p>Please bear in mind that this is still an experimental feature so it might not work as perfectly as you\u2019d like straight away.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this new Facebook feature?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook has a cool new option that allows you to take 360 degree photos.
