How To Upload Photos By Facebook Mobile

Facebook has a separate site for mobile users with a clean interface and less options; optimized for all mobile devices. Along this, it also allows you to upload photos directly from your mobile phone.

Many times I’m asked by my friends on how I set up Facebook to upload photos directly from my mobile phone. So for them, and all those who don’t know how to, I’m writing the procedure below for your convenience.

Sending photos to Facebook is very easy, but some people still have problems on setting it up. First thing I would like to make clear is that this feature of uploading photos works on all mobile devices with MMS capability and Internet connectivity in it because it uses email to upload photos to your Facebook account.

How To Set Up Facebook Mobile to Upload Photos

Simple follow the steps below to start uploading photos directly from your mobile phone.

1. Send a MMS to mobile@facebook.com from your mobile phone with a photo attached in it.

2. Facebook will read that photo and to associate your mobile number with your account, confirmation code will be sent to you as a text message. Note down that code.

3. Now open Facebook and go to your Profile page.

4. Then click the Photos tab and click “Create an album” button.

5. Now click Mobile Uploads tab. There you will see a box to enter your confirmation code.

6. Enter the confirmation code (sent by Facebook) there and you should now see a new album “Mobile Uploads” in your Albums with the photo in it that you sent earlier.

Your Facebook account is now been configured to receive photos directly from your mobile phone. All the images uploaded from your mobile will be stored in the “Mobile Uploads” album.

Backup Facebook Profile with SocialSafe

Most of us are addicted to online social networks like Facebook, Orkut, Hi5 etc. and for some managing an online social profile is now more important than keeping up with the one in real life.

Since no web service is infallible, you never know when your account might get hacked, deleted, suspended for false spamming or anything like that where you may lose important data, friends, uploaded photos etc.

We have already shared how you can backup your Twitter profile (followers), but there was no way to backup Facebook profile, until today, when I came across the perfect tool to backup your Facebook profile.

SocialSafe is a backup tool for Facebook which allowws you to download your Facebook friends, photo albums, photos you are tagged in and all your profile info to view them offline or just make a backup.

We, at Sizzled Core, have always reviewed and shared free applications and tools which are always helpful and doesn’t even cost a penny from your pockets. SocialSafe isn’t free, but I think it’s a must-buy application for hardcore Facebook users having many friends and popular profiles and I think $2.99 is not a big price the application is asking for.

Features

• Download all your photo albums and photos you’re tagged in.
• Backup your friends and profile info.
• View and browse your Facebook profile offline.
• Let friends know that you’ve downloaded the photos.

This Adobe AIR-based application is really simple to use, and it’s one license can let you use this application on two machines. Since SocialSafe has just released, there is lots of room for new features to be added. For now, your Wall Posts in Facebook are not backed up, but in the next versions that feature will also be added. Another feature I’m looking forward to is the backup of your private messages. I hope they add that soon.

Where is the backup stored?

If you’re wondering where your backup gets stored on your computer, a quick view in the FAQs page found me the path for stored backup location in Windows and Mac.

• Windows: C:Documents and Settings[USER_NAME]Application Datacom.1minus1.SocialSafeXXXXXXXXXLocal Store
• Mac: /Users/[USER_NAME]/Library/Preferences/ com.1minus1.SocialSafeXXXXXXXXX/Local Store

SocialSafe is available for both, Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and Mac OS X (Leopard and Tiger). The first 10,000 copies of SocialSafe are being sold for just $2.99, so I’d suggest you to better hurry up! Payments are done via PayPal.

Download SocialSafe

If you have already purchased a license, this application can be downloaded from here: Download SocialSafe.

Facebook App for Android, Coming Soon

Facebook has its official mobile apps for almost all mobile operating systems i.e iPhone, Windows Mobile, Symbian etc, but Andoid has been the only one left out.

That may be because of the past rivalry between Google and Facebook, but it looks like Facebook has finally decided to come out with an official app for Android.

This new Facebook Android app is expected to release somewhere in this this week and will use the new Facebook Stream API which provides access to news stream and status updates.

It will not be a full-featured Facebook app, like the iPhone one. You won’t be able to even check your Inbox, but all we can do is expect Facebook to add better access support and features as the time goes on.

Facebook Chat on Desktop

We all know that the chat feature in Facebook is one of the worst feature they have added. I mean, it’s not stable at all and keeps disconnecting every now and then while chatting with someone.

There are several multi-IM that allows you to chat with your Facebook buddies, but if you’re looking for a Facebook-only desktop app for chatting, then this application might help you.

Gabtastik is a WebKit based app that lets you chat with your Facebook buddies from your desktop. You won’t have to open the entire Facebook page in your browser, just to chat with those friends, thus, saving system resources.

The only requirement this app has is that you need to have Adobe Flash Player installed. Gabtastik runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X.

Download Facebook Chat on Desktop App

You can download this application from here: Download Gabtastik
