Facebook Open Graph Stories - iOS

How It Works

People use stories to share the things they're doing, the people they're doing them with and the places where they happen. Let people share stories about your app on Facebook through a structured, strongly typed API.

To publish Open Graph stories with the Share dialog, you do not need to implement Facebook Login or ask for additional permissions. For more information, see Share Dialog.

If you create a custom sharing UI to publishing Open Graph stories, you need to implement Facebook Loginand request the publish_actions permission from people using your app. This also means you need to submit your app for review, see Login Review. Both of these steps help make sure people using your app are aware of the action they are taking by sharing and helps provide a high-quality experience.

If you create custom Open Graph actions and objects for your app, you should also submit your app for review to ensure your new objects, actions and capabilities associated with actions comply with Facebook policies. See App Review.

Open Graph stories have four basic elements: Actor - The person who posts the story App - Every story includes attribution to the app that created it Action - Activity the actor performs Object - The thing the actor interacts with

Privacy

When you configure an action you should determine the default privacy level. People using the app can choose to override that default privacy level with any privacy level that's more restricted, but not more open.

Review Process

To ensure that all Open Graph stories shared on Facebook are high quality, all apps that want to share stories must go through a review process. Reviews are generally done within three business days.
