Literally, the ONLY thing I used Facebook for was PS4 Share screenshots. Now how do I share 100s of mediocre Spider-man selfies to people who don't care?

Removal of Facebook Integration on PS4
- Thread starter AngelOFDeath
- Start date
Probably a good thing overall, but social media integration on consoles has been really useful for filling out my friend lists without having to bother them all for their platform-specific names.
SHucks, now I am out of options to share screenshots... Not interested in using my utterly neglected twitter account either
More recent versions of Just Dance made it harder to export your recordings, so it was easy to rely on the Facebook posts to generate something I could extract and save.
I'm happy about this, but I do hope they figure out ways of connecting PSN to other services/API's to make friend-finding and other ways of being connected easier.
Sort of like how some services let you connect other services. In my Twitch account it shows me what other accounts of mine are connected to it, like PSN, Steam, Twitter, FB, etc. so if PSN worked that way too it would be nice.

Why just why? How are we supposed to see close friends and their real names then? Posting videos and screenshots to facebook was one of the eaistest things to do.
What does this mean for Real Names? Usernames are stupid as hell and I'd rather see my friends names and not noobslayer666
I hate Facebook too, but you could just not use it lmfao
Yes. What I would do is upload a screenshot privately so that only I could see it, then upload it to a sharing site to show it off where I needed to. Now I don't know how I'd even do the same. I don't want to make a tweet to post a screenshot on this forum, for example.
Well there goes the one thing I actually use FB for then. I never actually shared my screens on FB, just used it as an easy uploader.
Messaging screenshot to yourself and grabbing them from the PS app to upload anywhere resulted in better quality screenshots anyway.
- You can copy it to a USB drive.
- Upload it though the What's New section on the PS4 and save it using a browser on the myPlayStation site.
USB is the recommended way by the way. Facebook, Twitter and even the myPlayStation sites compress the hell out of the image.
Yeah, but that's why it's a pain. Now I'd need to capture a shot and upload it to my USB key, then take the USB key and plug it into my PC to then upload it to an image host. It's a step I only took when I needed to upload a lot of screenshots/media at once. But for individual screenshots? That's an annoyance. Compression wasn't really an issue since the shots I was sharing there were to show something specific.
I didn't know about the myPlayStation site way of doing it, though. Maybe that could replace quick uploading for me.
Same haha.
If I had to share screenshots, it would be Twitter and Youtube for video clips. I shared 1 screenshot the whole time on FB years ago before finally deleting it.
I absolutely despise not having a unified social network where only my friends get to easily see my shit, and Facebook's slow demise is outright ruining social media for me, because there's nothing else. Can't stand Twitter or Instagram or Snapchat (is this even a social network?).
Oh well. Might be for the best.

I wish Twitter had a feature where you could upload and keep it as a draft.
Copying them onto a USB seems like the only option.
Yeah it's good to take away option from people who use it just to make you happy, an option that you can just ignore. I don't use it but I don't get this stupid takes
Kotaku is reporting that it's because they are still finalizing their contract. FB responded not Sony.
Interesting, curious to see if the new contract will add video streaming like YouTube and Twitch.
See how they specifically menoned they gonna improve FB for PlayStation (they didn't say PS4) and PS4 support will cease to be provided.
This is a hint that they working on FB integration on PS5. ony is slowly killing features and support for PS4 in favor of PS5.
