To be honest, I often forgot that I set the application Facebook for iPhone or Android to me automatically synchronize all pictures made with the phone, screenshotmobile photos and photos from friends through Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, iMessage or other services.

Facebook he has had this service for some years, but too few have known about it, and many have used it without knowing it.
By Facebook Sync Mobile Photos, could (and still can) be automatically saved in your Facebook account, in a private gallery (Synced photos), all pictures taken with the mobile phone Android or iOS / iPhone.

Sync Settings

Automatically save photos from your iPhone.

Photo gallery with pictures saved from mobile devices, could be accessed by the owner both from the Facebook application and from the computer, accessing the personal account. Into the Photos, Synced from Phone.

Beginning with 26 Jun 2016, Facebook will withdraw the synchronous / backup service from mobile phones, and the private gallery where the users' pictures are, Synced from Phone, will be moved to Moments. Photos will remain private.
Users who do not want to keep photos saved over time, Facebook offers two options. Final deletion of all photos from the Sync from Phone folder, or a download link of them in the PC. Download your synced photos or delete them permanently.

If you have used this al Facebook for backupphotos taken with a mobile phone or iPhone, you have nothing to complain about. There are at least three fairly effective alternatives. OneDrive, dropbox si Google Photos.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
