1. Open the Facebook App on your device.

2. Go to your newsfeed.

3. On your status bar, Tap on ‘’what’s on your mind?”  to insert your text.

While typing your status, you will notice a layout of colors in a tile format ranging from white, black, pink etc. below the text. These colors indicate the available backgrounds for the status you are typing.

 

4. When you are done typing, tap on the color of your choice and tap on post to complete.

 

Note: If your text is too long, the colors will vanish, this is because color status on Facebook has a text limit.

- Want to change the look of your posts? Add colour!

- New colour-change feature now available to Android users

- Colourful posts are visible across mobile devices and the web

- iOS and web users should be able to post with colour soon

Why you can trust Pocket-lint

(Pocket-lint) - Facebook is about to look totally different going forward.

The company has quietly launched a new feature for its Android app users (and, apparently, it's coming to iOS users, too): colourful Facebook posts. With this new feature, you can add background colours to text-only posts. From what we can tell, the feature doesn’t work for links, images, or video posts, though The Next Web said the colours are visible to all on Android, iOS, and the web.

Facebook has long limited how its users can customise the look and design of their profiles. It has added features over the years so that users could showcase their notes, app integrations, etc. It also let users fill out their profile timelines with momentous occasions throughout their lives, but it's taken away many of these small changes as well, and it's never actually let people get creative with colourful posts on their pages.

So, not only are Android users getting a new Facebook feature first for a change, they're also getting to do something Facebook has never before allowed. It'll be interesting to see if the feature sticks. We played with it for a bit and think it's cool. Here's everything you need to know about it.

  • What is Facebook Marketplace and how can you use it to buy and sell?

How can you change the colour of Facebook posts?

To use Facebook's new colour-change feature for posts, simply tap on the "What's on your mind?" status bar, then start typing, and choose a colour or gradient from the choices that appear below your text. When done, post it.

Who can change the colour of Facebook posts?

Android users can post colourful statuses. It appears iOS and web users can't yet. However, the feature is due to roll out to them in the "coming months", meaning all users should be able to start jazzing up their posts - like they did with MySpace back in the day.

Who can see colourful Facebook posts?

Everyone can see colourful Facebook posts as of 20 December 2016. It doesn't matter which device or platform they are using.

How to post a 3D photo on Facebook. Spoiler: Need an iPhone – AIN.UA

October 31, 2018, nineteen:00

26608

In early October, Facebook added support for 3D photos in its News Feed and Facebook VR client. In 3D photos, the social network uses algorithms to simulate the effect of depth in an image, separating objects into layers. Turning a smartphone, cursor or virtual helmet while viewing such a picture, an imaginary 3D effect is visible. The AIN.UA editors tell you how to post a 3D photo yourself.

  1. iPhone required. This feature currently only works on dual camera iPhones: 7 Plus and later. nine0264
  2. Like the Facebook 360 page and restart the Facebook app.
  3. Go to the field for creating a new post, click on the ellipsis in the upper left corner or the "Add to post" field. After check-in, a 3D photo will appear in the list.
  4. Gallery view opens. Only pictures taken in portrait mode are suitable for 3D photography. In them, with the help of a TrueDepth camera, information about the "depth" of the frame areas is recorded. Facebook uses it to divide an image into layers and separate objects from each other. nine0264
  5. After selecting and adding a frame, the social network will process and show a preview of the 3D image. A field for adding a signature, location or status will open.
  6. Can be published. The photo will be available for viewing in all modern Facebook clients, web and VR interfaces.

Because 3D photos are processed portrait shots, Facebook's guidelines for taking them aren't too different from what Apple teaches.

The subject is best placed at a distance of 1-1.2 meters. It is advisable to take care of its contrast with the surrounding background, as well as the quality of lighting. Portrait shots need a lot of light. It is much easier to take a portrait photo of a subject with a smooth outline, but you should avoid transparent or shiny materials. nine0005

Recall that earlier AIN.UA reported that Facebook has updated the Messenger interface.
