Facebook's Slideshow feature takes on Apple Memories
OREANDA-NEWS. June 28, 2016. Facebook loves it when you share photos and videos: It's sort of like cat videos without the cats. You love to post them and your friends like seeing what you've posted.
Now when you post more than five photos or videos at a time, the social network will suggest creating a Slideshow, complete with music and transitions, TechCrunch reported Monday. You can select themes, too, including Nostalgic, Birthday, Bollywood and Amped.
The feature, which has been part of the company's Moments photo-sharing app, is now available in the main Facebook app for Apple's iPhones and iPads. And that pits it against Apple's new Memories tab in iOS 10, which is slated for general release something in the fall.
Using facial- and object-recognition techniques, Memories can cluster scenes by people and scenes (mountains or beaches), and by locations and dates to create micro-movies of vacations, birthdays or graduations.
Both programs could make your holiday photos even more interesting than cat photos, which is probably a good thing.
