    I tried all of this and it isn’t working. I still don’t have it as an option when posting pics. Any other ideas?

      Hi Laura,
      Have you updated the Facebook app with the latest version? If you can’t see the option even after the update, your account might have minor bugs. So, you can try using other Facebook accounts to see if it works.
