If you see a compass icon in your newsfeed, you may be looking at one of Facebook's newest features. How do 360-degree photos work, and how can you take advantage?
360-Degree Photos
Facebook’s upcoming “360 Photos” feature will let people upload flat panoramas like those taken on iPhones, Google Photo Spheres or photos from 360 cameras. Facebook will then morph them into 360 Photos for News Feed where users will be able to hold and drag to pan around the photos, or move their heads to look around them on the Gear VR.

Facebook is vamping up your panorama for a better viewing experience. This will allow a user to mouse around the photo or experience it with virtual reality.
You can do this on your cell phone or purchase a specific camera for it.
