It currently has nearly 3 billion active users. Facebook also owns Instagram and Whatsapp.
You can create a Facebook account at facebook.com with an email and password. You do have to be at least 13 years old to have a Facebook account.
Once you log in, you can add a profile picture, add friends, write a status update, share photos and videos, and much more.
You can also leave comments on posts and send private messages using Messenger.
Facebook also has a section called Facebook Stories for sharing short-form videos with friends.

Hi! I'm trying to find out how to included the embedded link, so that when I go back to edit my own content, I can still keep the original message/ and page, from where I am sharing an article. The problem is: When I preview the edit, the original content and page I want to promote, is showing. But, when I complete (to show post on my page) it only shows the link, or embedded code. Can you help? Thanks!!

[@jacileavitt7400]

I'm pretty sure there has been updates again, since your tutorial. I was able to do what I was wanting to do (as showing in my previous question), in Sept and Oct in this year.

Facebook profile

[@Dylanesque]

You forgot to add what to do when Facebook locks you out of your account, requests your phone number confirmation and then asks you to enter the 6 digit code it claims it sent you but actually didn't. And around and round it goes. I've been a member of Facebook for just a week, had virtually 0 activity on my account, added a comment to a friend's photos and commented on a second friends page, yet Facebook claims I have contravened their rules and regulations. I just don't get it???

[@kennethwalton-ic8nh]

Found this very understandable and plan to look into more of his videos as I get to that point. It was the first one that popped up when I googled how to use Facebook but it was just what I wanted, so subscribed out will follow up here and without looking elsewhere. Well done 👍 thank you!

[@djst9792]

Never been a fan of Facebook…honestly never used it …have a Instagram…but I noticed Facebook has alot of “groups” that Instagram doesn’t….great comprehensive video👍🏽

[@worton1968]

yes I agree Facebook is terrible lv close my account because facebook discrimination against men l had some women on my facebook account and they was posting sexually explicit pictures and l made a comment and they got offended. Facebook is a disinformation tool for the democratic party and Twitter

[@saywhat6250]

FACEBOOK WHERE YOU UPLOAD A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF POST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX VIOLENCE POLITICS RELIGION OR ANYTHING NEGATIVE OR OFFENSIVE...BUT WILL STILL GET BLOCKED FOR 24 HRS WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION ONLY EXCEPT TO SAY "YOU DIDNT FOLLOW COMMUNITY STANDARDS" WHICH WAS NEVER EVEN EXPLAINED TO YOU IN THE 1ST PLACE...FACEBOOK IS BEING OVERSEEN BY SOME CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION OR ENTITY WITH REAL BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES.

You are a great teacher, very good explanation i found this useful, excellent presentation, I'm going to subscribe your channel. ❤👍

[@j7ndominica051]

What is the purpose of the "create post" button on someone else's page? Surely I may not create articles there. And what is "check in"? I can't even guess the meaning in this context. They use some modern terms in place of traditional. Also is it possible to upload my "photo" (avatar) in higher quality without chroma subsampling? I have seen a business page with crisp drawings in png format.

Hi - thanks so much for this video. I am a complete newbie to FB. Have managed to set up a personal page and attach a second page to it for my home baking business. I have never wanted to do FB on a personal level as I am very private but I know I need it to help my small business to grow. I am slowly going to be adding photos of my bakes etc and eventually will want people to see it. Not sure if you can help but I have hit a wall! I need to 'create a username for the page (it prompts me to do this under the business name) so that people don't get my page mixed up with others of the same name but when I click on this and try to action it, the message says 'you are not eligible to create a username' . I believe I am reasonably tech savvy but I cannot get passed this. Would really appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you very much.

Newsfeed is the home page. So you can see what anyone posted on Facebook for their friends to see. Timeline is your profile page. You can see what people posted just to you on the timeline. So they are two separate pages
