Why Facebook?

Facebook remains one of the most popular platforms for connecting with loved ones.

Learning how to post is your first step toward unlocking this powerful tool.

Step-by-Step: How to Post on Facebook

1. Log In

Start by logging into your Facebook account using your email or phone number and password. If you don't have an account, visit facebook.com to sign up—it’s free and quick.

2. Find the Post Box

Once you’re logged in, look at the top of your news feed or profile page for the box that says, “What’s on your mind?”This is where you’ll start crafting your post.

3. Write Your Post

Click in the box and type whatever you'd like to share. You might want to:

• Share a life update
• Write a heartfelt message
• Post a fun memory or thought

4. Add Photos or Videos

Make your post more engaging by adding visuals. Click on the photo or video icon (a little camera or picture icon).

• Select files from your computer or phone.
• Wait for them to upload before finalizing your post.

5. Tag Friends or Add a Location (Optional)

Want to make your post more interactive? You can:

• Tag friends: Let them know they’re part of the memory.
• Add a location: Share where you are for fun context.

6. Choose Your Audience

Before hitting “Post,” decide who can see your message. Use the small audience selector (a globe icon for public posts, or a silhouette for friends-only) to adjust privacy settings.\

7. Click “Post”

When everything looks good, press the “Post” button. Congratulations, you’ve just shared a moment with your friends on Facebook!
