For weeks, I had been unable to upload photos from my iPhone 4 to Facebook. The error message that kept appearing was:

ALERT: Your photo could not be uploaded at this time.

I thought it was my local network or 3G network that was preventing me from completing the upload. So I did some digging around and found what’s causing the issue — the Location Services setting for Facebook on your iPhone.

To resolve this photo upload error, do the following:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Location Services.
2. Verify that Location Services is set to ON.
3. In the list apps that uses Location Services, look for Facebook.
4. Verify that Facebook is set to ON.

That’s it. The error should no longer occur and you should now be able to upload photos to Facebook from your iPhone.
