Community Q&A

Question

What should I do if someone I mentioned in the album did not get a notification?

Community Answer

Try to message them and see if they got the notification, maybe they accidentally blocked you. Otherwise, just tell them the name of the album and have them go on to your profile and find it that way.
Question

What should I do if my shared album isn't showing up on Facebook?

Community Answer

You might want to be patient -- sometimes Facebook can take awhile to finish uploading photos. If your album still isn't showing up, you should try uploading it again as there may have been an error in the process originally. Finally, check to make sure your privacy settings have been correctly set; otherwise your album may not show up publicly.
