Facebook has announced update on Android and iOS that focuses on photos

Facebook on Monday announced an update to its Android and
iOS apps that focuses on photos. You can download the
new version now directly from Google Play and Apple’s
App Store .
When uploading photos, you can now choose the order
in which they will appear. Once you pick the ones you
want (notice the numbering system in the left
screenshot below), you’ll also get a preview of how the
story will appear in your friends’ News Feed.
You can add an introduction to the preview as well as
caption individual photos. Even at this point, you can
reorder photos: Just touch one and drag it to a different
spot.
The whole point of adding the ability to reorder photos
is linked to Facebook’s new collage layout. Here is how
it looks:
The uploader and all their friends will see photos in this
new story form. Tapping a photo lets you scroll through
the photos in the order they were chosen to be seen.
Photos have been a huge part of Facebook, ever since
the feature first became available in October 2005. Over a
year ago in September 2013, the company shared it was
seeing 350 million new photos being uploaded daily,
and 250 billion photos had been uploaded to date.
While those figures haven’t been updated since then,
they’re still massive even one year later. While some
estimates show Snapchat edges Facebook in photos
sent per day, those images aren’t stored for long
periods of time.
As such, Facebook is still the king of online photo
storage, and right now it doesn’t appear to have a
serious competitor. Nevertheless, that’s no reason for
the company to stop delivering new features related to
photos, which is exactly why today’s update isn’t much
of a surprise.
