I know how to mail photos to my Facebook account from my trusty Apple iPhone 4, but I am wondering if there’s a way I can upload it with a caption from the phone instead?
There most definitely is a way to do that and it’s not only easier than emailing the pic, it’s also a lot more flexible. The trick is that you need to download and install the Facebook app. Here’s an iTunes App Store link: Facebook App.
Installed it and have it configured so you jump straight into your account? Great.
Now, tap on “News Feed” and you’ll see what’s up with your friends. More importantly, you’ll also see a “Photo” button on the top left. Tap on it:

When I’m done writing my caption, I tap on “Done” and the caption (or as much of it as can be displayed) shows up along the bottom:
A tap on “Upload” and it speedily feeds the image up to the Facebook server:
Moments later the image, with caption, shows up in Facebook:
Nice and easy, way better than hassling with photo email services, eh?

some one else created but the page is public.
