If you update your Facebook app on your iOS or Android phone, you will notice that there\u2019s an awesome new feature that allows you take panoramic pictures and upload them.<\/p>\n

Facebook introduced 360\u00ba<\/a>\u00a0photos to its newsfeed last week and uploading the 360\u00ba feature is super simple. Users who have purchased the Gear VR (Virtual Reality) from Samsung are also treated to a more immersive experience. Those who have their device with them can hit the “View in VR” button at the top left corner, and proceed to view the photo by moving their head around.<\/p>
