The new update could also make Moments more popular among the users that ignored the site’s photo-syncing option to this moment.

Facebook’s Moments app, which promises to make sharing photos fun again, received a new update on Tuesday focused on montages.
Google Photos is the obvious provider of a service that offers photo to video creation, but there are a number of other players as well, such as Flipgram and even Apple’s iPhoto desktop application providing similar functionality. The one difference is that Flipagram can has rights to use the recognizable songs it was able to acquire this summer. With the latest update, the app now dabbles into videos.
When launching Moments’ video feature, facial recognition capability suggests tagging photos before automatically setting the images to one of ten musical themes.
Moments also keeps all of your synced photos organized and even lets you search them to find the ones that you or specific friends are in.
Facebook says (via Wired): “It’s primarily optimised for a diversity of photos so it can capture a beginning, middle, and end of the ‘story.’ It also chooses a personalised set of photos to select the ones you and your friends are in”.
Facebook Moments is, without question, easy to use, and maybe it might seriously take off now with the new video feature; only time will tell.
This app could be the answer to finding the right balance between public and private. You can later choose to post the video on Facebook with a single tap on your phone’s screen. This is really the greatest advantage Moments seems to have, because it eliminates the extra step of syncing with Facebook when you want to share your collage.
