How to create a Facebook scrapbook
If you like to share snaps of your grandkids then you’ll want to know about Facebook’s new Scrapbook feature. Rather than having photos scattered over various albums, it conveniently keeps the photos in one organised place.
Facebook introduced the new feature after finding 65 per cent of parents tag their partner in family photos to share them with their partner’s Facebook friends. Parents wanted a way to collect photos of their little ones in one place that will grow with them over the years.
Enter Facebook scrapbook. This new feature is an optional way to organise photos of kids, using a special tag you choose to create. So whenever you choose to tag your child in a photo it will be added to a customisable scrapbook where photos can be shared with friends and family. Here’s Facebook’s quick overview of how it works:
- You can create a photo tag of kids that are not on Facebook. And since you can’t have Facebook until the age of 13, you can still have a scrapbook of photos of the grandkids before their Facebook days.
- You do not have to give Facebook your grandkids proper name. You can use a nickname, initials or something fun.
- You can opt to co-own the scrapbook with a partner who will also be able to tag photos.
How to set it up
To create a scrapbook, you’ll need to add your grandchild as a family member on your profile. They do not need a Facebook account to be added as a family member.
- On your profile, click About below your cover photo.
- Click Family and Relationships.
- Click Add Scrapbook next to your child’s name.
- Click Get Started and then click Create Scrapbook.
