Last Updated: June 29, 2021

This wikiHow shows you how to utilize apps available on the App Store to create stunning photo collages that you can upload to Facebook on your iPhone or iPad. Since Facebook doesn’t offer its own collage feature, you’ll need to use a third-party app (like PicCollage or PicsArt Photo Editor) to make collages that you can upload to Facebook. Occasionally, Facebook will automatically generate videos with photo collages for your "Friendaversary," which you can find on your Memories page.
