This wikiHow teaches you how to use an app available on the App Store to create a cool photo collage that you can upload to Facebook on your iPhone or iPad. Since Facebook doesn't offer its own collage feature, you'll need a third-party app (eg PicCollage or PicsArt Photo Editor) to create collages that can be uploaded to Facebook. Sometimes, Facebook automatically creates videos with photo collages for " Friendaversary " celebrations that you can find on the “Memories” or “Memories” page.
