Facebook not accessing all photos from iPhone camera roll

It’s november 2020 and I just got an update to my ipad. Now I can’t upload a photo from FB. My camera roll opens but it only shows 5 (out of 1000) pictures. What gives, Apple? I see this was a problem in 2018.

Thanks, Mary. This worked for me, too. Weird problem, though. In Settings-Facebook, you can choose between “selected photos” and “all photos”. For some unknown reason, mine was et to “selected photos”...

You should RE-read what I posted before which is what worked for me as well as the SUGGESTIONS that OTHERS posted that worked for many people also ~ just so you don’t have to look back here’s what I had posted:


“This worked for me - I hope it works for you also:


Settings ➡️ Facebook ➡️ Photos ➡️ Select All


It was Diggieboo’s perfect solution, which was posted here, in case you didn’t see it. 😊


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


These are the following suggestions that worked for others


rhea_422 suggested this:


go to setting ➡️ General ➡️ Reset ➡️ Reset setting


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


and altonxa suggested this:


try changing the profile pic on your Facebook and then give access to your camera roll”


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


No need to get nasty with me or Diggieboo - his suggestion is the one that worked immediately for me.


rhea_422 suggested the reset and that worked for some people.


I understand your frustration and do feel bad for you.


Maybe try deleting and reinstalling the Facebook app


If nothing helps then try contacting Apple on the Apple support App - you can have them call you back if you don’t want to wait on hold - they’re very good in responding


Good luck and please post whatever ends up working for you.

Same issue here .. the options are there .. inside of Facebook but it won’t allow me to click and continue .. it’s almost as if they coded it wrong and the button is unclickable .. Facebook isn’t allowing me to upload any photos unless I go directly through the browser . I’ve check the iPhone settings and on my 12 there is no setting to allow Facebook to access photos inside of the iphone .. what am I supposed to do ...

at the moment until the issue is fixed I went to Instagram and linked my accounts so whatever I post on ig goes to Facebook but that’s all I’m able to do until they fix the issue ..
