Facebook is creating an app to send self-erasable photos
The concerns of the creator of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, who was looking to gain a foothold in the smartphones market seem to be coming true. After renewing the official application of the social network for Android and iPhone, and after creating several independent tools such as Facebook Messenger or Facebook Camera, now it's an app's turn to share images directlyA tool that, according to the specialized media AllThingsD, would allow automatically delete said images so that the receiver can only see them and not store them
This is not a genuinely new application concept. To date Snapchat was the best-known tool of its kind. This allows you to send images to other users with a viewing time limited to a few seconds. At the end of said period of time, the image self-eliminates from the terminal of the receiver, preventing its viewing. A most useful feature to avoid the scattering of private photos Although there is always the possibility of taking a screenshot or screen printin those few seconds to save it.
According to this medium, the application being prepared by Facebook would maintain the scheme of Snapchat , where the user can have conversations with their contactsWithin these conversations, making a long press, we will access the function timer, where we can specify the time in seconds that we want the image or message to remain in view of the recipient before being self-deletedAlthough no further details have been revealed, not even some images of what it will look like.
Without a doubt Facebook is putting all the meat on the grill, especially now that it seems that the Business is in messaging and communication applications between users. So much so that Facebook would already have a total of five applications if we take into account Instagram, which was acquired this year for 1 billion dollars, and this new tool similar to SnapchatIn fact, just a few weeks ago the alleged intentions of to also acquire the well-known WhatsApp were rumored, an issue that was finally denied
We will have to wait and see if the giant Facebook manages to compete with Snapchat Of course, it has the strength of its name to draw many users to use its application, although for now few details are known about this mysterious application that is still in development And it might seem nonsense to have Faebook Messenger , intended exclusively for the messaging service of this social network, and developing a new communication tool , despite having the curious function of autodelete
In AllThingsD they estimate the arrival of this application for before the end of the year Therefore, we only have to wait to see what Facebook is preparing and if it really is a complete tool or finally a new function. We will be attentive to inform you.
