How to upload HD photos and videos to the Facebook Mobile app. When you upload photos or videos to Facebook using the mobile app, it defaults to standard quality. Frankly, many people prefer to upload standard quality photos and videos, particularly if they are using their mobile data to do so.
If you're a pixel-conscious one and would rather upload the best possible quality of your photos or videos, you can do so by changing a setting in the app. The process is slightly different depending on whether you are an Android or iOS user.
