What is “Moments”?
“Moments” is a new app from Facebook
You can compare Moments with a database that contains your cell phone pictures. From this database you can easily share these images with your friends without them being published on social media such as Facebook or Instagram.
As soon as you open or install the app, your pictures will be distributed into groups depending on which friends are visible or the date of the pictures. The images you send to a friend have only been shared in the moment and are not visible to others unless you or your friend choose to share the image outside of the app.
