The giant social networking
company, Facebook, launches a new application called Moments. From the name,
this application seems closely related to the photo. Yes, you are right!
Moments is a photo sharing application, but there are some things that make
this application unique.
Moments is released for iOS and
Android platforms. This app will organize and categorize photos based on the
people in it. So users will be able to share and recall the old memories in the
photos privately. It’s only you and friends who are in the photos who could do
it.
Besides based on people in the
photos, Moments will intelligently grouping photos by date and time they were
taken.
This application is using facial
recognition technology, as a result the users can choose who can view, add
photos and synchronize to their devices automatically. Likewise, you can also
see photos of your friends as long as you are in it.
In addition, the facial
recognition technology in the Moments application is also used by Facebook in
their primary site when users give a tag on a particular photo.
Currently Moments is launched for
users in America who use iOS or Android. But Facebook ensures that other
countries will soon be able to enjoy this application too.
