Facebook Is Shutting Down Moments

dimanche 27 janvier 2019, 23:20 , par Slashdot
Facebook Moments, the standalone mobile app designed to let users privately share photos and videos, is shutting down next month. 'Facebook confirmed the app's services will end February 25,' reports TechCrunch. 'Facebook decided to end support for the app, which hasn't been updated in some time, because people weren't using it.' From the report: Moments, which first launched in 2015, has seen some competition from other Facebook products recently, which might have led to its demise. For instance, Facebook built out its Stories feature, which includes a direct sharing option. That option, while designed for one-offs and not whole albums, did allow users to bypass the Moments app entirely in order to privately send photos with a select friend or friends. Users also have the option to share any of their photos from the app as Albums on Facebook. If someone downloads the app to an Album, the privacy setting will default to 'Only Me' but a user always has the option to share it with friends. Facebook says it will continue to incorporate options for saving memories within the Facebook app, as well. 'We're ending support for the Moments app, which we originally launched as a place for people to save their photos. We know the photos people share are important to them so we will continue offering ways to save memories within the Facebook app,' Rushabh Doshi, director of product management said in a statement. If you're a Moments user, you should see a message warning you about the app's demise. You can either export your photos from any device, or create a private album on your Facebook account to retrieve your photos.
