Question

Why is my album taking so long to post?

High-quality photos can take a long time to upload, especially over a slow internet connection. Try reducing the size of your photos , preferably below 15 MB.

Question

How do I save an album as a draft?

Community Answer

Set the album's privacy settings to "Only Me," then post it. No one else will see the album until you change its privacy settings.

Question

Does my album show up on news reels?

Community Answer

Yes, your album will appear in friends' news reels. To put it on your own timeline, click the "Share" button at the bottom of the album, then choose "Share on your own Timeline."

Question

Once posted, can I make the album only visible to members of a closed group rather than providing a list of names?

Community Answer

No — once the album is created, the custom privacy setting requires you to type in each name. In future, you can visit the closed group and create an album from that page to post it directly to the group instead of your profile.

Question

Can I create an album now but schedule it to post at a later date?

No, but you can create a post with multiple photos and schedule that post . Note that Facebook only allows scheduling from a Page, not your personal account.

Question

Can you move pics that are already posted into a different album?

Community Answer

Yes, but you'll have to do it one at a time. Hover over the photo you want to move, click the pencil icon, and select "Move to Other Album." This may remove comments and tagged people from that photo. You cannot move pictures in the Profile Pictures and Cover Photos albums.

Question

Can I post videos in a Facebook album?

Community Answer

Yes, by using exactly the same method. Like photos, you can also move them to a different position within the album (as described above). Note that videos will take longer to load than photos.
