Editing 360 Photos and Injecting Metadata Panoramas taken with smartphones that have native panorama-capture support will also be presented in an interactive viewer (although you obviously won’t be able to look around in full 360). This information is embedded in photo’s XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) and/or Exif (Exchangeable image file format) tags, and if you’re sharing 360 photos or panos straight from cameras or smartphones, Facebook automatically does the right thing-you don’t need to do anything extra: just pull the image files from the camera (either on your smartphone or computer), and share them to Facebook. To recognize such photos upon upload, Facebook looks for camera-specific metadata found in photos taken using 360-ready cameras. When you upload a 360 photo or panorama, Facebook automatically processes the photo and presents it in an interactive viewer. On June 9, 2016, Facebook announced support for 360 photos and panoramas.
Edited Jto include information about cylindrical panoramas.
