Facebook Kills Photo Sync In Favor Of Moments App

Facebook recently announced that it will no longer continue providing support for its photo syncing feature. According to TechCrunch, the company is urging its users to download its app version called Moments instead to continue availing the service offered by the said feature.

The pop-up notifying this new change reportedly read that Facebook will now move Photo Sync’s functions to the Moments app beginning January 10 next year.

Since it debut in the last few months, Facebook has been banking on Moments as its next big standalone app hit after Messenger. The app allows users to privately share its photos to other and gets notified via a message on the recipient’s newsfeed and on the Messenger app.

Facebook told TechCrunch that users who prefer not to download Moments can still retrieve their previously synced photos by downloading them as a .zip file on their computer. Moreover, they are also given the choice of being able to delete them through their Facebook profiles.
