    You can update Facebook on both iPhone and Android . Since the Slideshows feature is still experimental, updating your Facebook app may prompt it to appear in your app.
    • If you've seen the Slideshows option in your Facebook app before, skip this step; updating may remove the Slideshows feature from your app.
