Facebook also in the meanwhile also updated the app, adding a new video feature that creates an automated video montage of photos, complete with music, using a minimum of six images. The update will be rolling out in phases.

s can tap on the video inside the app to customise it by adding or removing images and by selecting any one out of 10 background music files for different situations. Once the final video has been created, s can share it directly on Facebook and tag other Facebook s. Facebook made the announcement in a video ed on Vimeo.

Facebook Mentions app is already synced with 's Facebook , it automatically identifies the 's friends and suggests tags once the gives the app permission to access the photos on the handset. s can then create a group of photos, create a video and share it on the social media website.

However, some features are still missing from the app. It is worth noting that the video can only be shared on Facebook for now and not to any other application. Hopefully, more sharing options would arrive with future updates. Also, for customisation, s can only add and remove images from the video. Options such as video filters, photo editing is still missing from within the Moments app.

Besides this major video feature, the Moments app has got some minor changes as well. s can now build their own Moments from ground-up, see the progress of photo s and choose any one of the 34 different languages for the application.

By introducing the video feature, Moments app by Facebook has gone in head-to-head competition with other apps like Flipagram, which also gives the option to create photo-stories with music, and Google Photos, which has the 'Assistant' feature performing similar functions.
