Facebook To Delete Your Synced Photos By July 7th - See Why by matrixx9(m): 5:09am On Jun 12, 2016 |
Facebook has decided on quite the way to convince people to download Moments : by threatening to delete thousands of photos if they don't. The notice has to do with a photo syncing feature that was recently removed from Facebook's main mobile app. Starting in 2012, the Main Facebook app was able to automatically upload photos from a phone's local camera roll to a private album on Facebook. They were kept there for storage, but also to make it easier to later share them publicly on Facebook. That syncing tool has now been moved out of the core Facebook app and into the photo app Moments . Facebook made it clear that this would happen — and in fact it happened months back, seemingly without much pushback. What Facebook was less clear about was what would happen to photos that had previously been Synced. At the time, Facebook mentioned that people would be given the chance to download their pictures in a zip file if they didn't want to move over to Moments. Now it's clear that offering is because Facebook intends to completely delete synced photos if people don't download this new app. (This only applies to auto-synced photos; not photos a person has personally uploaded. While Facebook is giving people plenty of time to make the jump over to Moments, it's being pretty shameless here about what's going on. Now you can perhaps argue that anyone actively using Facebook's auto sync will have already downloaded Moments.. Like the person in the tweet above, it's entirely possible that Facebook will be removing photos that people forgot or didn't realize were synced. But it's still, to say the least, not the kindest of tactics to delete photos when Facebook certainly has the resources to go on storing them. It's a blatantly aggressive push to get people to download Moments, which Facebook seems to be hoping will be its next big app. This isn't the first time Facebook has been aggressive about moving people to another of its apps. Two years ago, it removed Messenger from the core Facebook app, requiring people to download Messenger's own app to keep using it on mobile. That was an annoying shift for some, but maybe not on quite the same level as what it's doing for Moments — it's not like Facebook would delete your chat account. ![]() You can check the link below for more information. Anyone who's used Facebook's auto sync feature in the past has until July 7th to download Moments or a zip file of their synced photos. Otherwise, they're going to disappear. To be on the safe side just download the moments app. Source :http://www.naijatechguy.com/2016/06/facebook-to-delete-synced-photos-by.html?m=1 Via www.nairaland.com 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Funny how these companies secretly takes up pictures from your phone without ur consent then later tells you they want to delete them after using it to their advantage (probably to advertising). Now I see why Facebook gulp much data and memory(RAM) 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Facebook has now become so complicated their news are up the wazoo with jargons. After reading all the grammar posted I only have an inkling what the news is about. Re-registering my Facebook account closed since 2007 in 2013 felt like learning to drive a spaceship; everything looked so different I could swear I was on a different platform. Till today there are so many upgrades done to the site I still've no idea what majority of the new functions do. 4 Likes |

Facebook is going too far by even trying to sync every pix one takes with his or her phone. Who wants all their private stuff anywhere on the internet? These days, I take a pix of anything and Facebook asks if I want to share. Does that make sense to anyone? It's crap to me. 2 Likes |

I already downloaded the app, but it was so boring and not understandable that I have to delete it. Imagine them telling me to create an account, an account for an app that works with Facebook? Why won't it log in using my Facebook I. D |
