Facebook has release a raw update for its photo - sharing app . No , not Instagram , itsotherphoto - apportion app : Moments .
First launched in June , Moments lets you in private share photos from your Camera Roll with your Facebook booster . Facebook ’s updated Moments app will now automatically create short music videos from your photo aggregation that you could divvy up in camera with your friend or brand immediately to Facebook .
The telecasting montages resemble the digital flipbookscreated by Flipagram , except without the rightfulness to recognizable vocal that Flipagram was able-bodied to batten down this summer . or else , Moments will employ “ about a XII different screen background music alternative , ” according toTechCrunch .
Moments is the up-to-the-minute service that promises you wo n’t ever have to manually sort through your vast pic collection ever again . The “ smart ” photo app uses various factors — from locating tofacial recognition — to organize photos taken at the same clip or office , suggest which friends to divvy up with , and sew together video collage . The Google Photos app has standardised feature of speech to unionise and recognize picture . In gain , Google Photos automatically create inspire GIFs , panoramas , or collages out of similar pic .
Why this matters : Facebook has had mixed resultant role in trying to populate our smartphones with its standalone apps . For example , Messenger is a strike , but most other Facebook apps have barely made a dab — rememberSlingshot ?
The vision for Moments started in 2012 , when Facebook first stress to lure us into salt away all our private photos from our Camera Roll . But somehow the words “ Facebook ” and “ private photos ” do not go together for most of us . Then when Facebook launch the aforementioned Slingshot in 2014 , the Snapchat clone failed to convey anything unexampled to the private photo - sharing secret plan .
Flash - forward to today , and it seems that Facebook has found a winning formula : a standalone app that keeps our private photos away from the rest of the monstrous mesh but still relies on its social infrastructure to name and portion out with our friends .
