on Facebook, the types of post
and the ways of posting have also
changed a lot. People and

Additionally, Facebook offers a

If you do not know what a press
and hold or live image post are,
click on the link below. This is

8. basically a post made by us to
display our new logo and identity.
Before you go through this
tutorial, let us tell you that press
and hold images only work on
mobile phones and on the
Facebook app.
This kind of post is not only unique
but they also perform great in
terms of reach and engagement
since people have to press and
hold in order to see what is there.

9. You will see another level
engagement on these types of
post.
Now let us dive into the process
of creating it.

10. 1. Requirements

11. Unfortunately, press and hold
posts can only be created on iOS
devices that have iOS 9.0 or
higher. You would need an app
called intoLive for making the post
live.
1. Objective

12. You need to be clear on your
objective for the post. What kind of
post do you need? For e.g. we had
used this for showing our new logo
(given link above). You can use
this for various purposes like
questions and answers inside,
before and after posts, share
information that appears after you
press and hold, small slideshows,

13. etc. choose your objective and go
ahead.
1. Cover image and inside
post
You would need an image that
would be the face of your press
and hold a post. Once people
press on that the image or video
will be visible. Hence, you have to
create a cover image.

14. Now you need to make a video or
image that you want to reveal. The
intoLive free app allows videos up
to 5 seconds, whereas if you have
a premium account you can use up
to 30-second videos. Once you
have these two ready, we can go
ahead with creating the live image
on the app
1. Install intoLive app

15. The app store has this app and it is
free of cost. Like mentioned before
the free version allows 5 seconds
inside videos and it only allows to
add the cover image thrice. You
have to buy the app for Rs.250 in
order to be a premium account
holder. The premium account
holder gets to add 30-second

16. videos and add a cover image as
many times as he/she wants.
1. Start creating it
The interface of the app is very
user-friendly. First, you have to
select the particular video or image
that will be on the inside. Later you
have to select the cover image on
which people will press and hold.
Keep the inside image/video and

17. cover image ready in your camera
roll so that it can access your
photos and videos. Once your live
post is ready, you will get an option
of saving it in your camera roll.
Yes, that is how easy it is to create
it through the app.
1. Posting it on Facebook

18. You will need to have a Facebook
app to upload it. Again, only iOS
phones can upload live posts.
Select the images tab and use the
live image that you just saved in
your camera roll. Once you select
the image, press Done. After that
on the right bottom of your post,
you will see an option of live.
Enable the live button and post it.

19. Look at the screenshot below for
reference.

20. You will need to wait for 2-3
minutes for the post to become
live. After that, you can check and
see how it works.
Once the post is uploaded, anyone
can see from their phones. Even
android phones can check the live
post.
Remember you cannot post it on
the pages manager app, the only

21. regular Facebook app can be used
for this.
Conclusion:
This is how easy it is to create live
images. There are various apps
that are used to create live images
and post, but most of them do not
work on the Facebook app.

22. Share this with your gang of
people if you found it really
mesmerizing and useful.
Go ahead and make live images to
increase reach and engagement!
