Considerations

When adding already posted photos to an album, keep a few things in mind:

• The photos will appear in both your album AND individually on your timeline still.
• If you delete a photo from an album, it will still exist on your timeline.
• You can only add photos you yourself have posted – not photos you’ve been tagged in.
• The photos will appear in the album in the order they were uploaded.
• There is no limit to the number of photos you can add.

So in summary, adding already posted photos to an album just copies them into that album. The originals will still be visible on your profile unless you delete them.

Tips

Here are some useful tips for managing photos in Facebook albums:

• Add captions or descriptions to photos when posting them to help you identify them later.
• Use albums to organize and group types of photos, like an album for a specific event or time period.
• You can rearrange the order of photos within an album by dragging and dropping.
• Delete poor quality photos from albums by hovering over them and clicking “Remove”.
• Use the editing tools to enhance photos in an album by cropping, filtering, or adjusting.
• Customize who can see each album based on your preferences.
