Can you post a photo from your iPhone directly onto Facebook? If so, how is this done? Thanks! ---

Do you have the Facebook for iPhone app? If so, go to your News Feed and tap the little camera icon, and it will walk you through the steps for uploading a photo. ---

If you go through Facebook, it will give you a mobile e-mail address that you can beam your photos with. [jibberish869otherword@m.facebook.com](mailto:jibberish869otherword@m.facebook.com). Something like that. 🙂 ---

With the iPhone app, the picture upperloader is on the left hand side by the status input. Click on that, and you can either take a pic then, or upload one from the library, the same thing with video assuming its either a 3GS or 4. Declan ---

Note though, you cant upload pics from your “News Feed” page. You need to be on either: Your **Profile** page. A \*\*friends/groups \*\*page. Your **Photos** page. Then as mentioned above, click on the little camera icon and you can take, or select a pre-existing photo. You can also tag it by touching the pic where you want the hotspot to be, and add a comment. There are also some apps that have a direct link to facebook. I often use Adobe’s Photoshop express, so I can do a quick crop/adjustment. Then it has a button to upload to my facebook page. ---

I was looking at my phone right beside me, no photo button at the top of the page. I thought I’d double check, so I powered my phone right off and restarted it. Button appears… That would have been useful at the bloody charity buskathon on wednesday ☹
