FAQs on how to make a post shareable on Facebook 

Why can’t I make a Facebook post shareable?

If your clients’ personal Facebook settings are set to high privacy, family and friends can still read the content but can’t share it. 

Setting the post’s audience options to Friends or custom can also limit the Facebook users who can share and see your clients’ posts.

Why is there no share option on my Facebook post?

There can be several reasons why the share button doesn’t appear on your clients’ Facebook posts, such as the following. 

• The post’s privacy settings are set to Friends only or more restrictive audience settings
• Facebook updates or bugs that cause the share button to disappear from your clients’ posts temporarily
• Certain account settings or restrictions can block the option for users to share your clients’ posts
• Some content types, such as sponsored posts and ads, may not always be shareable
• Web browser add-ons and extensions that can sometimes interfere with Facebook’s functionality and posts such as interactive polls and videos
