While you can share your photos and videos on Facebook, you might occasionally want to look back at them. This wikiHow will show you how to see your uploaded photos on Facebook using a desktop web browser and the mobile app.

1. Open Facebook. This app icon looks like a white "f" on a blue background that you'll find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.

   • This method will show you how to view your photos if you're using the mobile app on an iPhone and Android.
   • Log in if prompted.

2. Tap the profile icon. You'll see a silhouette of a person inside a circle icon in the menu that runs horizontally across the top of your screen.

   • Your profile page will open.

3. Tap Photos. You'll most likely need to scroll down the page to find this button. It's generally below your list of friends.

   • All your photos will load, including photos you've uploaded as well as photos you've been tagged in by other people.

4. Tap Photos of You, Uploads, or Albums. If you want to see photos you've been tagged in and uploaded yourself, tap the Photos of You tab. This will also automatically open when you tap to see your photos.

   • Your Photos will show you all the pictures you've uploaded, whether you are in the picture or not.
   • Albums will show you all the photos you've uploaded and the albums they are in. For example, you'll see albums for pictures you've used as your profile picture, timeline uploads, videos, and mobile uploads.
   • To see a picture in better detail, tap the photo to enlarge it.

1. Log in at https://facebook.com. You can use any desktop web browser, like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, to log into the Facebook site and view your photos. The steps will differ from the steps used to view photos if you're using the mobile app.
