I’m not too sure why anyone would really want to do this. Maybe if you’re like stuck in China and your hustling skills lack the ability to get you onto the site itself, but yeah, you can post via email. You have a “post-by-email” address that you can use from your phone. Snazzy, huh? Here are some instructions:

Hit “Settings,” and on the left side of the screen, click “Mobile.” The post-by-email address will be listed at the bottom of your mobile information. (Note that this will only work once you’ve set up Facebook texts by adding your phone number.)

To add a caption to your photo or video, include a subject in the email. If you don’t include any photos or videos, the email subject will be your updated status.” As for your privacy settings? “Photos and videos uploaded by email are public by default, but you can always change the privacy setting of any photo album.
