Having issues with facebook displaying IOS photos on timeline/newsfeed

So normally when I upload pictures to facebook, I do it straight form my camera roll, and just hit the facebook icon and BOOM! Picture uploaded, no problem. But yesterday I noticed that the pictures wouldnt show up on either my timeline or my newsfeed. They'd be in the IOS photos folder, but that's it. No one would actually see them unless they physically went into the folder. Any ideas how to fix this? It works fine if I do the whole email to your facebook email thing, but that's a pain. Yeah I know, first world problems lol.

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1

I am having the exact same problem! it just started 2 days ago...this was one of my favorite features of this phone because i did not have the luxury with my old blackberry...i have called tech support twice, deleted and redownloaded FB app, checked all of my settings, turned off my phone overnight, did a reset and even shut down my apps for 30 sec.....nothing. they still go to the IOS album

i posted this dilema on my FB home page and the responses i got were mixed....but i would say 85% of my friends that have iphones and responded are having no issues at all!! they are still able to take a picture and upload to FB time line no problem...so i doubt it is a FB issue or EVERYONE would be having problems! today, im going to make the 1/2 trip out to an Apple store....maybe they can look at it?

I've been having the same issue. And I have the latest version of the iOS.

Two things happen...

1) If I upload a photo straight from sharing, it appears in the iOS album but it doesn't appear in my timeline or in the news feed!

2) I've also tried to upload the picture using the app, selecting it and it doesn't show the iOS album so I pick a different one and the picture appears in the album, my profile and news feed.


I hope they fix this ASAP because it's kinda driving me nuts 😝

i have a guy from tech support give me a call back tomorrow after he does some research! he was actually able to see up close and personal what we are going thru....(he borrowed someones iphone and tried to take a picture and upload to facebook) all the other techs had no clue what i was even talking about! i even said "go on the apple discussion support board and you will see there is a good number of us going thru this! well at least it is beginning to sound like the software update did this! i was worried it was a hardware issue and i was goig to take my phone back!
