How to Make a Slideshow on Facebook

Written by Jack Lloyd

Last Updated: August 28, 2018 Tested

This wikiHow teaches you how to create a Facebook slideshow out of your iPhone's or Android's photos. The Slideshow feature is still experimental, meaning that your app may not have it. If you can't find the Slideshow option as described in this article, your app doesn't support slideshows.

Steps

1
Update your Facebook app. 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.
2
Open Facebook. Tap the Facebook app icon, which resembles a white "f" on a dark-blue background. This will open your News Feed page if you're logged into Facebook.
- If you aren't logged in, enter your email address (or phone number) and password when prompted, then tap Log In.

Tap What's on your mind?. This is the status text box that is at the top of the News Feed. Tapping it will open a new post window.

Scroll down and tap Slideshow. It's an orange icon near the bottom of the post window. Doing so opens the Slideshows page.

Tap Next. It's in the top-right corner of the screen.

Tap the "Music" tab and select a theme. Tap a theme that you want to use for your slideshow. The theme that you select will determine both the music that plays and the visual presentation of the slideshow itself.
