In this video i'll walk you through an easy way to create photo albums on
Facebook in 2020 including the content you've already
uploaded and brand new photos. Here we go.
So you start by going to your profile page by clicking here
and then here you can see photos. The options are create the album
add the photos and videos and edit manage existing content. So let's start
by saying create album and immediately you browse
images to choose the content so i'll pick some of these from
an album I've already got on my pc and I'll call this album the same name
which is cruise 2017
and then a description holiday on cruise
You can actually say a location
it depends on where you're looking at in the video
I think it's Madeira these pictures
so you can add those.
Friends can actually contribute to the album as well so you can add the names
of people who can add their contents. So youve got various
sources you can go from and you can use a date from the
photos.
Then you can comment on the individual pictures
and click anywhere in the picture to tag people
who you may recognize. So i'll just say post. Notice i've got it
set to only me it's a good idea to just post it
to yourself initially and then you can open it up to
the public later so I'll do that. A couple of basic options now available
you can feature it on your profile you can then edit further you can go to
the settings here download the whole album and delete it.
Under edit go back to that screen again we could see our albums there and we can
pick out that one if i say feature on profile
i'll confirm that
And if i now say view as
i can see a picture is now featured as someone comes through to my
page profile.
Now if you were to look at the new interface on Facebook so I'll switch to
new Facebook this is what you'll see
Again we're still looking at the view as public here on the page
and you can see it there.
If i was to go through to photos i'll exit view as for now and
select that album again you can see a grid view you can see a
feed view.
How it looks in the feed grid view is the overall summary and then edit
album edit delete album and edit cover photo the only differences there.
So iif we go to your photos if you want to add content that's
already there on Facebook and we want to add it to
various pictures so we can say
if i wanted to repeat the process I'd say create album
give it a name first
and then say upload photos or videos.
Now as i look at albums i've got an untitled one there that haven't put any
content in so if i want to get rid of that
simply click on it click on the three dots delete album
and confirm that.
And notice as well as well as photo albums you've actually got
a story archive so things you've done on the mobile phone
temporary stories they're kept as well and even videos can be stored
on the page. Okay so i've switched back to the
traditional view because there's some things that you can't yet do
in the new version and that for example is go to existing photos so you go to
your photos make sure it's you that's uploaded them
and if you click on them and then select the
pencil icon in the corner there you've got the option to
move to other albums. So you can say move to the one you've selected so
cruise 2017 and be done. Whereas if you're in the
brand new facebook interface
and I select the same pencil icon you've got edit location that's only the
actual location of where it was taken make
profile make cover picture but there's no
move to all our albums so that may be a feature that
rolls out over time within facebook 2020 and i'll certainly look out for that but
for now you can at least with the classic
version still move photos into particular albums.
So that's a useful feature. Also just to say that you can create
photo albums from your Facebook page itself so here I've got
photos so you can see the option create album there and it allows you to add the
photos from your existing files on your computer
again. And if i switch to the 2020 Facebook interface
and go through to photos
it's also possible to go to
create album
and upload photos and content there. Now it's possible that with the classic
interface back on your own personal profile
you may see things like this so somebody you should
tag that person because they've been included if you say no
you can go through various pictures and confirm whether or not you include them
or not in the story there does seem to be more
options still available with the classic interface at the moment so
time will tell what features will become available with the newer version
but that's it for me I'm Paul from PR wilson media
