For the first time, you can now share 360 photos on Facebook. Simply take a panorama with your phone or capture a 360-degree photo using a 360 photo app or 360 camera, and then post it on Facebook as you would a normal photo. From there, Facebook will convert it to a 360 photo that people can explore, similar to how people experience 360 videos on Facebook.

360 photos will be easily identified in News Feed by the compass icon on the right-hand side of them.

Beyond News Feed, you’ll also be able to explore Facebook 360 photos in virtual reality with the Samsung Gear VR, powered by Oculus. While using a supported Samsung device, click View in VR in the top left corner of the video, place the phone in the Gear VR, and experience the photo in a VR environment.

360 photos are available to view today on Facebook via the web and the latest version of the Facebook app on iOS and Android. Over the next few days Facebook will be rolling out the ability to share your own 360 photos.
