Facebook will launch a new mobile software in 2016 to help its users share pictures.
Facebook has introduced a new technology for its users. The social network platform requires its users to download yet another mobile application. In 2014, if the platform users want to store messages they were required to download the network’s Messenger
Since 2012, the social platform has provided automatic image synchronizing from the camera roll of a smartphone to the major Facebook mobile program. It needs users to opt in to get the tool. According to the help page, once users trigger it, the significant mobile software of the Californian enterprise synchronizes the last 20 pictures and then any picture shot from there onto a secretive Facebook album.
According to Facebook news, from January 10 onwards, the users of the social network must download Moments a picture sharing and storing application, if they are interesting in keeping that feature. All users who have enabled the feature could now find a notification on the company’s mobile program that reads, "Photo syncing is ending on Jan. 10. Learn more.” Tapping on that notice, brings users to a page that proclaims the measure to Facebook.
The page reads, "On Jan. 10, your backed-up photos will move to Moments, and photo syncing on Facebook will end. ‘Moments’ is a new app from Facebook that lets you organize and privately share photos."
As per reports of Facebook Breaking news, the update is like the demand of Facebook last year for users to download Messenger if they desired to continue messaging other users through the platform. The measure has followed the closure of standalone software development unit, Creative Lab, by the network giant and removed of three gadgets from application stores.
Yet clearly, the social platform is still pushing an application ecosystem, as in not having one application with every tool. Possibly, it has enhanced as far as prioritizing them is concerned.
It is not clear how many of the 1.385bn monthly active mobile users of the company have picture sync enabled. The company refused to share its views regarding the factor responsible for the alteration. The social media service provider updated that users could download their synced pictures’ zip file on their computing device or remove them if were not interested in downloading Moments.
"Starting this week, we are beginning to phase out Facebook's photo syncing feature," a spokesperson of Facebook told International Business Times. "The feature was launched in 2012 when people took photos on their phones, but still posted primarily from computers."
Facebook Breaking news reported that now, the social platform has betted that Moments can grow like a standalone picture-storage application, where pictures are stored on a cloud and not utilizing a smartphone’s storage capacity.
