Facebook has started rolling out an update,
which will automatically enhance the photos you upload from your mobile device.
As reported by TechCrunch,
the upcoming update to the Facebook app will have a slider to enhance the
light, shadow, and clarity, or revert back to your original shot. It will also
auto-enhance photos – a feature that was optional in the previous version of
the Facebook app.
The Facebook app for mobile previously gave
users the option to add filters and select the auto-enhance button when
uploading pictures from their smartphones. The new update will automatically do
the work for you, though you get the option to tone down the enhancement or
revert to the original image.
The update has already started rolling out for
iOS and Android devices are expected to get the update soon.
With the growing popularity of photo-sharing
apps such as Snapchat, Instagram and Pinterest, older social networking sites
seem to be catching up with the trend. Facebook-owned Instagram recently beat Twitter to reach the 300
million milestone in terms of its registered users, even though the latter has
been around in the social media space for a longer time.
While Twitter may dismiss Instagram’s popularity in public, it
loosened it stand to include photo-filters in a recent app update.
