I'm attempting to work with my photos on Facebook.
1. I have an album I want to add photos that are on FB to the album. When I try to do this it takes me to my desktop. I just want to move what is on FB into an album NOT upload another photo.
2. I want to create an album using the photos that are on FB. Once again it takes me to my desktop. I don't want my desktop.
What am I not understanding?
Oh, I found the pencil icon but there is no choice to move a photo.
Assistance please.....

I don't think you can move photos within Facebook. I think you have to upload them again directly into the album you want them in.

Well that stinks..........I wonder why?
If that's the case it's probably because the trail that is created when a photo is uploaded is changed when the photo is moved. I don't know why FB would care.......
I'm bummed if this is the case.

If I understand, your photos are uploaded to facebook and you want to move them to a different album in facebook? You can't do that. To add to a facebook album you have to do it from photos on your desktop.

To add to a facebook album you have to do it from photos on your desktop. I have moved photos to different albums, before. If you can't now, they must have changed something. I did it from my desktop computer, not my phone. Let me look, and see if it's still the same... |

Okay, if you can do it from your computer, this is how you do it...
First, create a new album
Go to the album that has the photo that you want moved into the new album
Click on the pencil that shows up in the upper right corner of the photo
Click Move to other album
Select album
*You cannot do this from your phone. Not sure about an iPad.

What am I not understanding? Oh, I found the pencil icon but there is no choice to move a photo. Assistance please..... I move photos between albums all of the time. IF you click at the bottom of the picture, it gives a few choices. Click on options, and then move to other album. It is very easy. |

It looks like you may need to add one photo from your desktop to create the album. Then, you can just follow the above for the rest. That's what it seems to be, anyway. Weird. |

Ok, so here is what I figured out......
1. Don't try to use a cover photo within an album. FB doesn't allow it.
2. When I clicked on a photo that isn't a "cover" photo I could create an album or put the photo into an album.
3......Why is this so difficult? Why can't a cover photo go into an album?
Alrighty so that was a chunk of my mindless Sunday!
Thanks for all of your help ladies!
