Facebook today launched a new standalone app called Moments that�s designed to help friends build collaborative photo albums for easy sharing of memories.
From big events like weddings to smaller ones like a kayaking trip or a night out, the app helps you gather photos taken from multiple points of view and make them available to everyone in your group.
The app groups photographs on your phone based on time and people (using facial recognition). Groups of photos can be synced with specific friends, and those friends can choose to sync their photos to you as well.
Synced photos can be searched by the people who show up in the them. Facebook says the feature is powered by the same facial recognition technology as the tag suggestions feature on Facebook.
Moments is available starting today for people in the US on Apple�s App Store for iOS and through Google Play for Android.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
