A year ago Facebook launched 360 video on Facebook, and in June fb launched 360 photo. Facebook is bringing the two together. Starting today, any publisher can implement 360 content in their Instant Articles.

Instant Articles is a complementary canvas for 360 media. Journalists and storytellers can share richer stories and paint more vivid scenes by joining 360 content with other Instant Articles elements that publishers are using to deliver their written, filmed, and spoken narratives.

Each Instant Article can contain multiple 360 photos and videos that readers can explore, share, and comment on in the context of a story.
