Create a photo album on your Facebook profile

Do you want to keep the photos and videos of a trip, a family reunion or an outing with friends ... and to be able to consult it on Facebook when you want? To find these images easily, the most practical solution is to create an album. It is easily accessible from its own profile. You can manage its confidentiality settings, add contributors… or simply modify the content published there in a few clicks.
