Uploading, viewing and downloading pictures from Facebook mobile can sometimes prove to be a challenging task. Nonetheless, we are here to help you understand the processes involved in viewing albums on Facebook using your smartphone.
Create the Album if lacking one
By now you probably have created a Facebook account that is up and running, and you aren’t pleased with how your photos are scattered all over without any identifiable tag on them.
You, therefore, decided that you need to create several photo albums for specific dates, events or places you have been to, which aims to make your profile much more presentable. This is how you could go about it.
