Flat wide panoramic photos instead of 360 degree panoramic photos on Facebook.

But it is not specific to FB. It is specific to iPhone Panoramic photos, not to Panoramic Photos per se, that are loaded onto FB. As I said earlier, if I copy the visible image of an iPhone Panoramic Photo into Paint & save as a Jpeg with same dimensions as the iPhone Panoramic Photo, FB displays it as a wide flat image. But the other information about the photo is not present e.g. time, date, location & 'camera' on that Paint image. So, there is something encoded into the file by the iPhone that takes the Panoramic Photo, not simply that it is a Panoramic Jpeg image. As I said, I regularly create Panoramic images by sticking Jpegs together with Photoshop & they are always loaded by FB as a wide flat image not as a 360 image.

Thank you. The file is written by the iPhone. When stitching photos together to make a panorama in Photoshop the resulting file is not read by Facebook as a 360 image. When the visible image of an iPhone is 'copied & pasted' leaving other file information behind it is not read by Facebook as a 360 image. So, it is a code that the iPhone adds to the file that causes Facebook to read the photo as 360. Therefore, I would have thought that Apple would know how to remove that code leaving all the other information about the photo e.g. time, date, location & 'camera' behind?
