New York: Facebook is taking a lot of new initiatives to maintain its fanbase. After the launch of its LIVE videos it’s now the 360-degrees photos, which is the cool new feature.
The social media giant has introduced the all new feature that enables users to upload and view 360-degrees photos directly in the News Feed.
How it works?
As soon as you capture a panorama or 360-degrees photo with smartphone camera or a third-party app, users will be able to post the photo directly to the social network. The photo will then convert into an image that can be viewed on desktop or any smartphone.
You can rotate the image by the compass icon floating on the upper right hand corner of the image. You will just have to click and drag the image to explore the complete environment, or simply move their smartphone around.

Andy Huang, Product Manager, Facebook, told in a media report, "Along with 360 photos from your friends and family, you can discover stunning new 360 photos on Facebook from public figures, publishers, and other organizations.”
"360 photos give you the ability to take the stage in front of 100,000 fans with Paul McCartney, get behind-the-scenes access to the Supreme Court via The New York Times, visit the International Space Station with NASA, and more," he said.
