We all know about Facebook's iOs photo syncing feature which allows users to automatically upload all photos on their mobile devices to a private album called "Synced" or "Synced from Phone". And also, we all know that this feature is way more easier in terms of copying the photos to find and share pictures with friends on their social network. However, did you know that Facebook will be terminating this feature on your iOs device?
When I say terminating, I did not mean that you can't totally use the feature. Instead, you can still use it but only if you have installed the all new Moments app by Facebook. And by that, the company is already starting to notify its users who upload photos from their iOs devices that their synced albums will be deleted next month. To be exact, they are being informed via email or in-app notice that these albums will no longer be available beginning July 7, and they should either download the album manually or, install the all new Moments app by Facebook.
Now I did not bold out the words "all new Moments app by Facebook" because it's important but I would just like to say, "Hey guys! Here's another unnecessary app from Facebook. As you might have recall, Facebook has did the same thing early 2014 when they force users to move to their new Facebook Messenger app.
The company pushed all users to download Facebook Messenger after it removed the chat feature from its flagship app. Messenger has remained among the App Store's top-ranking free apps ever since.
This month, the company also announced that it would be removing chat from its mobile web app too, leaving users with no other option but to download Messenger if they want to continue using the feature on their phones or tablets.
In related news, Facebook announced this week that it has begun rolling out a new 360-degree photo feature across the social network, which will let users view uploaded panoramic shots and 360-degree photos in a more immersive way.
Photos compatible with the 360 feature are identified by a compass icon on the right-hand side of the shot once it has been uploaded. Mobile users can explore a photo by tapping and dragging it or by moving their phone, while desktop users can click and drag it with their mouse or trackpad.
