<p>You don’t necessarily need a 360-degree camera to share a 360-degree photo on Facebook.</p><p>On Thursday,
Facebook launched “360 photos,” a new supported format for uploading smartphone panoramas and images taken with certain 360-degree cameras and photo apps. Facebook will automatically convert these flat photos into interactive images that you’ll be able to view in fullscreen by tilting your smartphone using the Facebook apps for iOS and Android.</p><p>You can spot these immersive 360 photos in your News Feed by looking for a compass icon on the right-hand side of the photo. On the web, you will be able to click-and-drag on a photo to “explore” all around. And in addition, 360 photos can also be viewed using an Oculus Rift or Samsung Gear VR headset.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3081968/software/facebook-just-made-sharing-360-degree-photos-with-your-phone-a-reality.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
