How to Get Likes on Your Facebook Photos

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Use a quality camera or mobile smartphone for taking photos.

   Using a smartphone makes it very easy to take, edit, and upload a photo without any extra work.
   
   Mobiles are particularly useful for selfies.
   
   Although you may be able to use a camera for selfies, it won't produce the best result because many phones have two cameras: one in the back, and one in the front.
   
   If you're really interested in high quality results, instead of using the camera in the front to take selfies, use the one in the back.
   
   The back camera takes higher-resolution pictures.
   
   Thus, you may get more likes on the picture.
