Is Facebook getting closer to virtual reality? Not quite. But their simple, new way to interact with a panorama photo sure feels like they are advancing in the right direction. Today we’ll show you how to easily post a 360-degree photo on Facebook and tips for how businesses can create engaging content with this new feature.
Step 1: Take a panoramic photo with your iPhone or Samsung device. Make sure it is 100 degrees or wider.
Note: For Android users, download Google’s Cardboard camera app to take a panorama.
