Sharing Status Updates
How do I share a status or other content on Facebook?
Depending on whom you'd like to share with, there are different ways to share content on Facebook:
- Sharing with a broad audience: Use the share menu that's located at the top of your home page and timeline to let others know what's on your mind. You can update your status and share photos, videos, links and other application content. Things you share will appear as posts on your timeline, and can appear in your news feed. To control whether or not specific people have the option to view your stories, you can change the privacy settings for each piece of content you post.
- Sharing with a small group of friends: Use the Groups feature to share content with a select group of people, like family members, your soccer team or your book club.
- Sharing with an individual: You can use the share menu at the top of a friend's timeline to write or share something on his or her timeline. Friends of your friend will also be able to view your post. If you'd like to share something privately, you can always send someone a private message.
