Why is there no option to post a picture on Facebook?

[Android Central Question]

You can put an emoji or a sticker but for some odd reason, unlike every other smart phone for the last like 5 years, there is no camera icon to share a picture from your camera or gallery. And for the life of me I cannot find any way to post one of my saved pictures.

I guess it has to be through an agreement, between the phone builders
and Facebook. But you can send pictures in a Text or email messages - Bye

What phone is this? Are you using the Facebook app?

What phone?
How are you accessing FB? (I.e. The app, or from a browser)

Why is there no option to post a picture on Facebook withthe S9?

There is no camera icon on comment sections on Facebook so you can't reply with a picture. Why would they not allow S9 to post pictures on Facebook comment sections?

That has nothing to do with the S9. Some Facebook pages actively block picture comments. For example, on my S7 I cant post pictures in the comments section of my friends, but on one of the groups I follow, there is no camera button on the comment section.

Two threads merged, whether from the same poster I don't know.

I have seen this too on a couple pages I follow.

Same problem here. Only since I got the S9. Had Pixel 2, and never had this issue. Thre isnoi way that I see to add a picture in a post of a friend, just stickers, emoji, etc.

Actually, it does. It's a known problem for late model Samsung galaxies. And yes, "Pages" also supplies administrator option to enable or disable comment photos, often for societal safety/security or to impede ompetitive marketing.
However, this is a separate issue, most likely with Samsung app -- FB app integration. I'm on here hoping I'll find a workaround that enables me to continue using the Samsung keyboard or find a clipboard trick.

In my case, the page had photo comments enabled, but I'm not sure if comment "replies" are also enabled or in anyway trickier.
