Share All Your iPhone Pictures on Facebook

by

One of the great things about the iPhone is the powerful camera that is built into it. The iPhone is actually used to take more pictures than any other camera on the market. Apple’s recent improvements to the camera with the iPhone 4s has only helped make it popular as a picture taking device.

With a camera essentially available to people everywhere they go, they take pictures of what they’re doing, who they’re doing it with, and the funny things they come across. After taking these pictures, people want to share them with their friends and family and there is no better way to do so than by sharing through Facebook.

While Apple and Facebook have had rocky integrations with social media features through iTunes, the iPhoto app has Facebook features built right into it. To make it quick and easy to share all of your iPhone pictures with friends and family on Facebook you’ll need to make sure you have setup iPhoto to import your photos from your iPhone each time you sync it. You can do this through iCloud, or with a cable that connects your iPhone to your Mac.

Once you’ve gotten your pictures to sync quickly to iPhoto your can easily set up iPhoto to share just your iPhone pictures (Those you’ve taken while you’ve been out and about living your life) with your friends and family on Facebook.
