Facebook announced last night the coolest feature for users iPhone and Android from all over the world, it being available right now. We know that Facebook tested this function for a long period of time before launching it for its users, it may arrive at a given moment or another, including in the application WhatsApp, something that he would like to do.
Yesterday, Facebook implemented the possibility of recording 360-degree photos directly from the iPhone, without using a special camera for this. Until now, it was necessary to use a camera to record content at 360 degrees in order to be able to take such pictures, but those at Facebook have completely changed the idea for such content with the function launched last night.
Facebook launched the function last night and it is being propagated all over the world at the moment, an alert in the News Feed will inform us when we can take such pictures. Last summer, Facebook implemented the possibility of uploading panoramic photos to the social network, they being automatically transformed into 360-degree photos, and now things change completely with this new function.

Facebook also announced that using 360-degree photos as a profile picture is possible, so users can have great images published at the top of their profile page. Facebook has also announced that it will allow you to publish these pictures in discussion groups, in the timeline, but also to add them to albums, so we can group all the pictures to find them more easily.
Facebook claims that in order to take 360-degree photos, we will have to look for the option in the News Feed section 360 Photo which allows us to take 360-degree photos, This will soon be available to everyone, and from the moment you see it in the Facebook application you will be able to use it, instructions to properly record these photos being then visible in Facebook application.
"Open the Facebook app and click the '360 Photo' option from the top of your News Feed where you update your status. Press the blue button and follow the path from start to finish until you've taken a complete panorama. Select your preferred 'starting view' within the photo and share."
Facebook had a major advantage over competing platforms with this new feature, especially since it does not require special cameras for recording. Facebook has created a very complex software to be able to offer such functionality and probably after the launch of this function we will see a lot of great pictures that will show us how much of the wide world can be shown through such pictures.
