If I post a photo and I want it also to be posted on a friend's timeline, how do I do that?

Only option on mine (like other folks on here) is to report spam.

The a ruin button only appears if you open the link in Facebook. It moved down to the bottom in a recent app update. But it's still there.

Careful sharing YouTube videos that way from a mobile device. It will share the mobile web address and people on computers will get redirected.
