iPhone 6s running iOS 9.1 and now I can't post to Facebook from photos. It says your photos will be posted but it never shows up on Facebook.

Any suggestions ?

Not sure what you mean by posting to Facebook from photos. The option to post from photos to Facebook was removed a while back. Those were the ones that went in "iOS photos". You have to post photos from in Facebook.

What? This isn't true at all�Facebook is an option in the share sheet. It's built right into iOS along with Twitter!

You're right. It had been toggled off by default in iOS 9. I missed it! Lol

Gotta love it when settings change on their own for an update. I had the same thing happen with Twitter when I was running ios 9.1 beta and I lost the ability to post and save pictures on twitter altogether

I assume it was the OS. I don't recall when I first noticed no Facebook. I think someone else complained and I looked. I always post photos to Facebook from in the App.

It wasn't a bug. It was the same as you. My phone had turned off photo sharing for Twitter in the upgrade just like your phone did for Facebook

I'm afraid it is possible. My wife's iPhone 6 shows Facebook on the share page. Sharing a photo to Facebook results in the confirmation "Your photo will be shared", but it never shows up. Well...almost never. One did, but it seems to have been a one off. Any suggestions?

Do you mean the share sheet or share screen?
Tap on a photo in the photos app> Tap the arrow in the bottom left corner. Check to see if Facebook is toggled on.

My Facebook option shows in the share sheet, but the photos posted to Facebook no longer go in the iOS photos album. They go in Mobile Uploads.

It's okay. Try using the quote option. That'll prove quite helpful to you...

Hmm.. Maybe for Facebook you need to have photos permission on, and then you will be able to share, I know Twitter and other apps you don't need to have them access to your photos and you can share by selecting the photo(s) but Facebook doesn't allow that because they want full control of all your photos.

Apparently turning photos on in Settings > Cellular did the trick.

Toggling the app in cellular settings didn't do anything for me. Not sure what left to do!

It worked for me. But it no longer goes to iOS photos. It goes to mobile uploads. Try signing out of the Facebook app, then back in. Or better, delete it, then reinstall it. I just tested it again and it still works.
Check this:
Go to Settings > Privacy > scroll down to photos > scroll to Facebook > Toggle on.

Also be sure you are signed in to Facebook in Settings.
