    Hi Jerry,

    The Facebook App for Android doesn’t offer that functionality. You will have to open up Facebook in a browser and select “full site” at the bottom to disable mobile view, then you can delete posts as usual.

    I think it will be the same process,
    you can try facebook for every phone app or browser.
    but every app should have a delete option.
    so if you are using android app for facebook,
    swipe to delete a post.
    try it and tell me.

        well, I could not understand, you can’t post a new photo if your mobile upload album is not empty, is that what you tried to say ?

        can you explain it more.

        I am not sure how can this happen, may be a temporary error.
        log out and login.

    To delete your own post through the FB app, you’ll have to swipe across your own post for the remove button to show up. It may take more than one swipe for the button to actual show, which is pretty annoying. Alternatively, you can logon through your phone’s browser, select “dekstop site” from the menu and delete your post(s) like you would on your PC.
