Every month, more than 850 million photos are uploaded on Facebook—making it the largest photo-sharing site. With photos being so popular, we're constantly working to improve your experience in sharing them.
We noticed that many of you wanted to create larger photo albums to display all the images from a trip or event in one place. So we've now expanded the number of photos an album can hold from 60 to 200.
We tested this limit increase for a couple months, finding that it resulted in significantly more photos being shared as well as a better experience. With our new Haystack storage system, we were also prepared to store and serve more photos than before.
Over time, we hope to give you even more options to share photos efficiently.
Chris, an engineer, is about to create a huge photo album from his recent trip to New York City.
