It recently released the Facebook Slideshow feature, and in the same month announced the ability to share 360-degree photos to your timeline.Although at this stage you cannot take a 360-degree performing photo within Facebook itself, you can use panoramic photos taken from your smartphone or use a third-party app and upload these.

How to take 360-degree photos on Facebook: Use Google Street View app
Street View can be downloaded for free on Android and iOS.Although the app may be focused at exploring and sharing street views within the app, you can also create 360-degree photography of anything you wish which can be uploaded to Facebook.
Install and open the app. Tap the orange plus icon in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
Choose Camera and allow the app access to your camera and location.
Stand in one place and line up your camera so the orange circle is within the centre of the white circle. Wait for the app to store that image automatically, and then move your body slightly to capture the next picture. Orange dots will appear to give you prompts on where to stand.
Do this so your camera has covered the whole space around you – move in a 360-degree circle and make sure to cover above your head and the ground
