Facebook continues to make headlines with updates to its various features. The platform has revamped its Photo Album functionality, adding several new options to make it more engaging and less conventional. Let’s take a closer look at the latest changes.
New Features in Facebook Photo Albums
You can now add more than just photos to your Facebook photo albums. New options include:
- Videos
- Check-ins
- Text posts
- The ability to follow your friends’ albums
- Notifications when a new item is added to an album you’re following
In addition to the Stories feature, Facebook now allows users to share special moments in their Photo Albums, preserving them as lasting memories. You can closely follow your friends’ activities and make it easier for them to keep up with your updates.
Competing with Google Photos
This update is believed to be part of Facebook’s efforts to keep users actively engaged, especially in response to recent innovations by Google Photos.
The long-standing feature, previously used mainly for categorizing special moments, is now more versatile and entertaining. The updated Photo Album feature is rolling out for Android and web versions today, with an iOS update expected in the coming days.
