How To: Add 3D Photos to Facebook Using Portrait Mode Pictures for Moving, Depth-Filled Images
Facebook added a new feature that lets you post 3D versions of your portrait mode photos for all your family and friends to see on their smartphones, computers, and virtual reality goggles. These new 3D photos add a whole new dimension to your images with movement and more depth.There have been other ways to post interactive photos on Facebook before, so the notion of moving images in your Facebook news feed isn't new.First, there were 360-degree photos you could take with a special camera or by using a 360-degree mobile app or panoramic mode on your smartphone; then you would post them as regular photos on Facebook. Second, a dedicated "360 Photo" mode was added to the Facebook mobile app, which let you shoot and post a 3D-like image without ever leaving Facebook.This new "3D Photos" method will likely be the most popular since you can upload all of the portrait mode photos that you already took on your smartphone.Don't Miss: How to Post a List as Your Facebook Status Update
Compatible DevicesAs of right now, only iPhone models with "Portrait mode" are compatible with 3D Photos on Facebook. That means the iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X, XS, and XS Max are all game. That leaves out the newer iPhone XR since it doesn't have dual cameras on its rear.Android compatibility will be coming in the future at some point and will also require smartphones with two lenses on the rear camera. It's not yet known if software that can produce similar results without two lenses will work, like on the Google Pixel 3 and 3 XL. Otherwise, when Android support finally comes in, you'll likely be able to use it with devices such as the Honor 7X; Moto X4; OnePlus 5T; Huawei Mate 10 Pro; Samsung Galaxy Note 8; Galaxy Note 9; Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+; and the list keeps going and going. If you have a smartphone made within the last couple of years, chances are it has a portrait or portrait-like mode on it.Facebook uses depth maps that are stored inside portrait mode photos, so if your device doesn't store depth map information in portraits, it may not be compatible.Don't Miss: How to Take 'Portrait Mode' Photos on Any Android Phone

Take Better 3D Photos for FacebookYou'll quickly notice that not all of your portraits will look good as 3D Photos on Facebook. To make sure yours look better, follow some of the below tips, which will also make better portrait photos in general.Put your main subject at least three or four feet away from your phone. Capture scenes with at least three layers of depth: foreground, your subject, and background. Don't let your subject blend in with the background — use contrasting colors to make them stand out, and therefore pop in 3D. Make sure the subject has some texture, as it won't pop as much without it. Shoot subjects with solid edges, so there is a clear line of separation between other depth layers. Avoid shiny objects, which could Avoid transparent objects, such as glass or plastic, which could fool depth sensors. Avoid added effects, like scene lighting.
