In this short but descriptive article, I will show you how to make a Facebook post shareable.

If you have been using Facebook for a long time, you would notice that some posts are shareable while others aren’t.

If you have ever tried to share someone’s post on Facebook but can’t seem to see the share button anywhere, I have the answer.
