Move Photos to a Different Album in Facebook
Share with family, friends, and strangers
Did you know that Facebook gets 4,000 photo uploads every second? The social media platform has more than a billion users worldwide, and that number is expected to go up by 690 million in 2020. That’s an overwhelming number of photos being uploaded every day.
If you have a collection of photos uploaded over the years, depending on when you first joined the platform, Facebook lets you move photos into photo albums to organize them. You can then share them with your family and friends, and preserve memories.
We’re going to show you how to move photos around on Facebook so you can organize your collection to make it easier for you to manage, retrieve and share your collection.
How To Create a Photo Album In Facebook
A photo album on Facebook works like the usual photo albums that you insert photographs, pictures or stamps, except it’s a virtual photo book. Plus, you can share it with as many people as you want by tagging them on the album itself, or different photos you’d like them to see.
If you haven’t set your profile’s privacy settings to private, your friends and followers can browse your photo albums whenever they visit your page.
However, adding and managing photos on Facebook isn’t always easy, because they tend to change the user interface rather frequently.
Just when you’re familiar with doing simple things like adding a profile photo or organizing your photo albums, new size requirements are added or they change the interface altogether.
In Facebook, before you can move photos to a different album, you’ll need to create the albums.
Note:If you create multiple albums, you canmove more than just photos. Facebook now allows you to move videos, text posts, check-ins, and more. You can also follow friend’s albums and get alerts when they’re updated, plus you can highlight your favorite collections by displaying featured albums on your profile.
Create a Photo Album Using The Facebook App
Creating a Shared Album
A shared album on Facebook allows you and your family or friends to contribute photos and other media to albums, so you don’t have multiple albums for the same thing.
For example, if you have photos from your last prom, and your friends also have photos to share, you can put them all in a shared album and get notifications when it’s updated.
Note:Contributors to a shared album can only delete or edit the photos or videos they upload. The album owner has deletion rights to all the content in the shared album. If you remove a contributor from the album, he or she can go to their activity log to delete the photos they added.
Facebook: Move Photos To Album
Now that you have your albums ready, it’s time to move your photos between albums.
Note:Cover photos and profile photo albums don’t have the option to edit.
Note:If the photo you want to move in Facebook is part of a post, you’ll get a notification popup.
Note:You can’t move photos and videos between Facebook albums from your smartphone or tablet.
Facebook: Delete a Photo Album
Not all photo albums on Facebook can be deleted, for example Profile Photos, but you can delete any photos in such albums.
