Using the Mobile App

1
Open Facebook. This app icon looks like a white "f" on a blue background that you'll find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
- This method will show you how to view your photos if you're using the mobile app on an iPhone and Android.
- Log in if prompted.
2
Tap the profile icon. You'll see a silhouette of a person inside a circle icon in the menu that runs horizontally across the top of your screen.
- Your profile page will open.

Tap Photos of You, Uploads, or Albums. If you want to see photos you've been tagged in and uploaded yourself, tap the Photos of You tab. This will also automatically open when you tap to see your photos.
- Your Photos will show you all the pictures you've uploaded, whether you are in the picture or not.
