Unsupported File Formats

Facebook supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIF file formats. Uploading photos in any other unsupported format could cause them to disappear immediately after posting.

Privacy Settings

If you've set your photo viewing options to private or customized the viewer settings, it's possible that others may not be able to see your photos, giving the impression that they have disappeared.

What to do When Pictures Disappear from Facebook?

Wait and Check Back

Give it a few hours, as Facebook images may disappear temporarily during server maintenance. If the photos still haven't reappeared, consider reaching out to Facebook to report the issue.

Review Email Notifications

Ensure that the photo wasn't removed due to a violation of Facebook's terms of service. Offensive content reported by users can lead to photo removal. If the photo was taken down for violating the terms, familiarize yourself with the terms and make any necessary adjustments to the photo.

Explore Other Albums and Wall

Check different albums and your wall to see if the photo may have been uploaded to a different location than expected. For example, if you uploaded the photo using a mobile device and your designated mobile uploads album is full, Facebook may create a separate album. Sharing the photo on your wall can also help you locate it.

What is the Difference Between Public And Private Facebook Groups?

Group administrators have the ability to modify the privacy settings of their group, except for the platform group, which is fixed to be private and cannot be altered. There are two types of groups, public and private, and administrators automatically gain administrative privileges for all groups below their current one.

Public

Public groups allow members to be visible to other members within the same group, as well as those in all publicly connected groups. Additionally, learners within the group will be automatically added to all higher-level groups until they reach the first private group encountered. Comments within the forum of a course's activity or a Learning Need are viewable to members of the group and those in publicly connected groups. Messages published in the newsfeed of the group or on a user's profile page are only visible to members of the group.

Private

Private groups also allow members to be seen by other members within the same group and publicly connected groups. Comments within the forum of a course's activity or a Learning Need are viewable to members of the group and those in publicly connected groups. Messages published in the newsfeed of the group or on a user's profile page are only visible to members of the group.

A group is considered publicly connected to another group if they share the same lowest private ancestor, and there must be a public connection between them through the group hierarchy links. Specifically, a private group is publicly connected to all public groups beneath it that are not separated by another private group.
