Thumbnail Image is posted in facebook using (/me/feed) facebook graph api

This is the code I am using for posting Image on Wall.

"https://graph.facebook.com/" 
  + Login.facebookid 
  + "/feed?access_token=" + accesstoken 
  + "&method=post" 
  + "&message=" + strFullMessage.replaceAll(" ", "%20") 
  + "&picture=" + imageUrl 
  + "&privacy=" + resp

I am using facebook Graph API to post image on wall.

What I expected is Image will post in exact size as the Image has?

But the image is posted in Thumbnail size.

Why the graph api is taking thumbnail image?

But when I use (/me/photos),it is taking full image.Why this change in API.

How to post full image using (/me/feed)? Is this a bug in facebook Graph API?

This method is used to share a Link on facebook user's feed(wall).

You can't post full image using me/feed, It will always post it as a link. You can use me/photos for putting big photos.

FB.api('me/photos', 'post',
    { 
    url:'MY_URL',
    href:'MY_LINK,
    message: 'photo description',                
    access_token:accessToken
    },
    function(response) {
        console.log(response);
        if (!response || response.error) {
            alert('Error occurred');
        } else {
            alert('Post ID: ' + response.id);
        }
});

Above is the method to do it with me/photos.

If you post to the me/feed endpoint you will get a thumbnail, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/#posts

Use the me/photos if you want a full image posted.
