Remember Facebook’s Moments app? Well, if you live everywhere else than the U.S. you probably would have only just heard about it. Launched in June of 2015, Moments made it easier for Facebook users to share photos with friends. Well… now they can share video as well!
Think Google Photos, but don’t get confused with Twitter Moments. Facebook’s Moments app – available on iOS and Android – connects to the media on your device and uses facial recognition technology to help you tag friends and to share the images with them. It also allows users to create slideshows of their photos. Up until now, over 400 million photos have been shared – 1/4 of them in the past month!

Now, Moments moves on to supporting video, allowing users to add videos to their slideshows, as well as share videos. In the next few months we should also be seeing the ability to sew videos together as video slideshows. Of course this is only a pretty small change to an app that hasn’t even rolled out live across the globe yet – just wait until that happens.
What do you think though? Will Moments become something bigger? Fo now, it seems to be growing pretty fast… just not anywhere else than the U.S.
