Facebook Said To Be Building New ‘Moments’ App For Private Sharing

More than one billion people from around the world use Facebook to stay in touch with their family and friends. The social network has lots of sharing features which one can use to share different kinds of content with their connections. It has a laundry list of privacy options as well which allow users to set exactly how can view what they share. However some users often find these options hard to understand. What Facebook is reportedly building now will be something they’ll all appreciate.

Multiple sources revealed to TechCrunch, one source claims to have seen an internal version as well, that Facebook is developing an app codenamed “Moments” which will allow users to share content privacy. The aim of this app will be to make sharing within a group of selected people very simple.

It is said that Facebook users are currently testing out the app to put its functionality to the task and find out if there are any bugs. The interface will reportedly have a grid with several tiles that will represent groups of family and friends. Users will just need to tap the correct tile in order to share something with just that particular group.

While Facebook has said that it does not comment on rumors or speculation, it should be kept in mind that the social network usually tries new features and builds new products that never see the light of day. Until it officially confirms this release we can’t be sure if “Moments” really will be launching anytime soon.
