Instagram Hack - 360 Degrees Photo + FB New Update

How's it going guys this is Apple Fox here. And what I've got for you today is something what could be called a future of photos. Not sure about that but anyways I'm going to be talking about 360 degrees photos. How to make yourself a 360 degrees photo and of course how to share it on social media. Definitely an interesting topic so let's better get started. 

As you of course know there is a panorama mode in your stock camera on your iPhone. Not sure if many people use it but it's there. But what I wanted to say is that, this panorama view is not really a 360 degrees capable. Correct me if I'm wrong but the panorama from the camera doesn't make a full 360 degrees.

To be honest, the reason why I'm making this video right now is because there has been a new update for the Facebook app released in recent days. And in this update, users are able to make 360 photos within the app. It is already available both for iOS and Android right now, so go ahead and update your facebook if you want to try that out. 

Now let me explain how it works. So when you go inside the updated version of your Facebook application, you just need to click on the option called 360 photo. It can be found at the top of your news feed, where you update your status. There's the icon of I don't even know what it is but it's supposed to indicate that it's 360 degree. 

Obviously click on it and just start taking the photo. After pressing the blue button, just follow the path all the way around, until you make a complete panorama. Make sure your hands aren't shaky very much because it could ruin the experience, of course some slight shakiness doesn't matter thar much.

Once you're done with the photo, you need to pick your starting point. It's the part of the panorama that you want your friends to see first. And you're ready to share it on facebook. There is an option to add it to group, share in albums and post it on your timeline. And even the cover photos can contain the 360 degree photo so isn't that cool?

But the problem is that not everyone might wanna use facebook all the time for creating this type of photos. So I want to show you some other options how you can take use of this panaroma photos. What if you want to share something similar on ther social media? For example on instagram? 

Unfortunately Instagram doesn't offer a built in feature just like Facebook. So here comes the regular camera application. You need to make an interesting panorama photo just like usual, by turning around and capturing the moment. But the tricky part is: how do you upload it to instagram?

You can throw it into instasize or something like that, but that just looks awful. Not saying instasize is a bad application but its purpose is not to compress panorama views so you can upload them to instagram. Most people use it to create square photos to fit into their profile but although I've seen some panoramas like this on instagram already, it looks terrible to be honest. 

So that's why you need to download this application. It's called Panomatic and it's just amazing. It is of course free to download on the App Store and once you open it up, you of course need to allow it to access your photos and there you will see your recent panoramas. And the way it works is extremely simple.

Simply click on the panorama picture you would like to upload to instagram. You'll immediately see it cropped or sliced  into several smaller pictures that alltogether create a 360 picture. Tap on the scissors icon at the bottom of the screen. And it's all done. That's how easy it is. You can even share it rightaway from the application which saves a little bit of your time. 

So instagram has added this feature recently, I made a video about it when it happened. And now select mutliple photos. Those that create the whole picture, doesn't matter if there 5 or 6 parts, that depends on the original picture. Once you've done, just show it to your followers as a regular collection of photos.

So that's it guys. Hopefully I could help you and I hope you enjoyed this video as well. A thumbs up and a subscribe would be really appreciated by me. So don't hesitate if you don't want to miss anything important in the future. Have a nice day and see you in the next video.
