Direct upload from Photos app to Facebook & iOS Photos Album

What does Apple have to do with facebook, Apple doesn't control facebook.

You will need to contact the app developer or look at their support site.

Like I said, ask the app developer or look at their support site, not an Apple issue but a facebook issue.

Facebook started using the IOSphotos awhile back from a few updates ago.

Once again, very aggressive and defensive response. Neither addresses the question nor aids in finding a workaround.

The Facebook api is open to all, and allows any album or the timeline to be specified. Many other apps and platforms manage that. So the Facebook end of this is available and ready to use.

It is an Apple choice to load to 1 specific album only, instead of offering the user a choice of album, or indeed the timeline. So the only part of this Facebook/Apple interface that needs a change to address this request is the Apple end.

My Android kit does this nicely enough, as does my Macbook Pro , its just my IOS devices that struggle.

It is Apple's absolute right to leave this as it is, presumably to nudge users further into the iCloud ecosystem, but it is a legitimate request and entirely within Apple's control to resolve.

Although this is NOT Apple's "problem" the solution is in a correct "synch" as controlled in FACEBOOK of photos taken by an iOS device. The menu to control Photos synching is not always clearly visible or even findable on a small screen. Here is our story: My wife reported the issue of all her iOS (iPhone photos) showing up also in her Facebook albums. She deleted them and then the next day they were back. It took the following discovery to fix it: Follow the above FAQ, that is use the dot dot dot more at the lower right of the screen, select "Photos" and then notice that the menu at the top of the screen is partially concealed. You have to scroll or drag the menu to expose the very right hand menu choice for "Synched" and select it and then disable the synching. Yes, this is activated, at least in my wife's case, by default, not by her intention. Yes, the menu is effectively concealed. Why? You have got me on this part, perhaps a curiosity, perhaps an invasion of privacy, perhaps neglect, perhaps the programmer was using a large screen device where the menus all display. However, on an iPhone5 the Facebook/Photos/Synched menu is concealed and might be activated without a user knowing (our case) and the process can be so intensive that other things in Facebook do not display promptly (our case). Hint to the Facebook Programmers, design first for the smallest screen and build upward. Use menu terms which can be truncated and still understood. For the rest of the world, beware, using Facebook may open private matters to a wide audience. You as the device operator are responsible even when you do not understand what is going on. Like: Your niece has a baby and you visit and take a picture of her nursing the newborn to pass on to your great gramma ... you used your iPhone 5 which autoposted the photo to Facebook and you get the phone call from your niece's mother who is happy as ... you would be with your hand in a beehive.

I think the Facebook app for iPhone is a Facebook app, not an Apple app. And there IS a way to designate which album to upload a photo to, contrary to your comment. However, it only allows you to upload to an existing album, not to create a new one. If you don't designate a specific album, it automatically goes into your mobile photos album (for iPhone users it's called "iOS album"). Facebook should add "Timeline Photos" and "Create an Album" as options in the dropdown menu for Album designation on their mobile app for iPhone. These options are available on the desktop version of Facebook.

For the record, I don't think Razmee was aggressive in the least; just terse.

I tried to upload photo directly from my iPhone and it no longer uploaded into the iOS album. In fact, there's no iOS under the album selection.

Can anybody guide/advise how can I upload my photos into iOS album again?
