Facebook for iPhone now lets you share photos like Snapchat
Privacy continues to be something important for the social network Facebook , despite the amount of news and problems that have tarnished the name of this service lately. Proof of this is the introduction of a new possibility at when publishing albums and photos, giving the user the option to limit the visibility of said contents to a small group of contactsAll this in a simple way and with an operation that is inevitably reminiscent of the application Snapchat
This is currently an exclusive feature for users of iOS devices , and it comes through an update of its application for this platform, without knowing anything yet about the platforms Android or Windows Phone With this new possibility when sharing, the user has a another layer of privacy to manage the visibility of content, being able to limit it to a much more limited series of contacts or friends than groups, and without the need to create cumbersome previous lists to share.
To be able to use this new function, you just have to update to version 8 of Facebook and publish a photo or album as usual.The difference is that, when selecting the degree of privacy of said content, if you click on the option Friends a drop-down appears at the bottom listing them all In this way the user can select exclusively those people with whom he wants to share that album or photograph, without the rest of your contactsbeing able to even see that you have posted something new on the social network.

A feature reminiscent of the Snapchat app, where the user can create content from a photo and video, and then mark all those on the list. contacts to whom you want to reach.
