Facebook Moments updated with video creation tools

Facebook has just released an update to its Moments app, bringing it up to version 2.0. This is the first major revision to the app since its launch back in June. The latest version includes just a small number of new features, but also marks the application’s release outside of the US.

Contained within the update you’ll find a new way to create moments by simply tapping the plus button in the top right. Not listed on the change-log is another new feature, which allows users to create a short video clip from a selection of six or more photographs. The video creation feature also has options for background music and the pictures can be swapped around until you’re happy to upload the creation to your Facebook page.

The application now also supports more than 30 different languages, and version 2.0 has seen its share of bug fixes and performance improvements too. If haven’t tried out Facebook Moments before, it is essentially an app to help you easily share your photos with groups of friends.

Previously, Facebook Moments had been limited to consumers living inside the US, but is now apparently available in many more countries. It hasn’t landed in the UK for me yet, but the app could be gradually rolling out to new regions over the coming days. You can download the app for free from the Google Play Store.
