Facebook is one of the most popular social media platforms today, and a wonderful way to stay connected with friends and loved ones. For that reason, it’s no wonder you might wish to share some aspects of your life or things that interest you with your Facebook friends, thus sparking a conversation and allowing your friends to interact with your posts.
To that end, here are some ways you could share on Facebook using your Android phone or tablet, whether that means sharing your own content, content from other apps, or even content from the Facebook app itself:

Sharing directly from Facebook
If you want to share a page, group, or even a specific post you found on Facebook to your own News Feed, here’s how you can do exactly that:
Sharing groups and pages
- Open the Facebook application on your device, and sign in if necessary.
- Use the search bar at the top to find a specific group or page you wish to share. Alternatively, you could also scroll through your News Feed until you find the exact page that you’d like to share.
- Once the page or group in question is found, tap on its name to open.
- On the specific page, you will see an arrow icon at the top. Press it to share.
- Here, you will see several sharing options, such as copying the link or sending the page through Messenger.
- To share the group or page to your News Feed, press the Write Post option, and then click on Post.
Sharing Facebook posts
- Open the Facebook application on your device, and sign in if necessary.
- Use the search bar at the top to find the person or page who’s post you wish to share. Alternatively, you could also scroll through your News Feed until you find the exact post that you’d like to share.
- Once the post in question is found, press the Share button (arrow icon) below it.
- Here, you will see several sharing options, such as sharing to your Story or sending the post through Messenger.
- To share the post to your News Feed, simply press the blue Share Now button.
Sharing from your phone or tablet
In case you want to share content such as photos or videos from your Android device to your Facebook profile, however, there are two ways to achieve this:
Method 1
- Open your device’s Gallery app, and locate the picture or video you’d like to share to Facebook.
- Press the photo/video to open, and then click on the share icon (two dots connected with two lines).
- Here, select Facebook, and then press Post after you’re redirected to the Facebook app.
Method 2
- Open the Facebook application on your device, and sign in if necessary.
- Press the Photo tab at the top. If prompted, select Allow to give Facebook access to your Gallery.
- Now, simply select one or more photos or videos you’d like to share.
- After you’ve finished selecting, press Done, and then click on Post to share to Facebook.
Sharing from other applications
The process for sharing content from other apps to Facebook can vary from one application to another. However, it should work quite similarly in most cases.
All you need to do is find the share icon (two dots connected with two lines). Tap it, and then choose Facebook from the given list.
If Facebook doesn’t appear as an option, then sharing from that specific app most likely isn’t possible.
And that’s it! Whether you want to share content to Facebook from your device, other applications, or the Facebook app itself, you can easily do so following the extensive guide above.
