Last week I told you that Facebook is testing the Photo Sync function for iDevice owners, and today the company announced its official release. Practically Photo Sync it works like Photo Stream and automatically synchronizes all your photos from Camera Roll with your Facebook account. The pictures will be uploaded in a secret album visible only from your account, and as soon as they are uploaded there, the pictures can be published immediately by you, but only if you want this.
Today we're excited to roll out photo sync, which makes it easier to share photos. With this feature, photos from your phone sync automatically to a private album on the web. When you want to share these photos, just pick and post your favorites. We started testing photo sync in August and will continue to make it available to more people. Get the latest Facebook app for Android or iPhone to try it out. Learn more at facebook.com/mobile or visit the Help Center.
The function will be available starting today worldwide, in the Facebook application you should have an option to activate / deactivate it, but do not expect it to appear immediately. The automatic synchronization of photos with Facebook will only be available within the limit of 2 GB of storage space (in Facebook), it will only work when you have enough battery and there is the option to force the application to synchronize only when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network Be. When you have an active mobile data connection, the photos will be synchronized at a much reduced quality, with a maximum size of 100 KB.
To check if you have the option active, open the Facebook application, access the side menu, access the Photos section and then press the Synced button and from there you will be able to activate it.
