Facebook Moments app launched for private photo sharing

The world’s biggest social network seems to think that people aren’t sharing enough pictures and so has created a new app that helps users to find even more images to post.

With a phone at everyone’s fingertips, the moments in our lives are captured by a new kind of photographer: our friends. It’s hard to get the photos your friends have taken of you, and everyone always insists on taking that same group shot with multiple phones to ensure they get a copy. Even if you do end up getting some of your friends’ photos, it’s difficult to keep them all organized in one place on your phone.



To help make it easier as Facebook claims, it has launched an app.

Called Moments, once installed it will work through a smartphone’s entire camera roll and, using Facebook’s facial recognition software, grab anything that features what it recognises as an image featuring Facebook friends.


The app’s default setting is to create a private album that can be used for sharing the discovered image or images simply with those pictured in them.

The idea is that the privately shared album grows organically as both people continue to share new photos through it.



Moments also keeps all of your synced photos organized and even lets you search them to find the ones that you or specific friends are in.

Moments is a Creative Labs app. It is launching today, (i.e. 16th June 2015) in the US on iOS and Android, and will be rolling out to more countries over time. You can download Moments from the App Store or Google Play.
