Facebook says the following regarding the Moment app :
“Syncing photos with the Moments app is a private way to give photos to friends and get the photos you didn’t take. Moments groups the photos on your phone based on when they were taken and, using facial recognition technology, which friends are in them. You can then privately sync those photos quickly and easily with specific friends.”
The use of facial recognition tools can prove to be a privacy disaster and it has already created concerns about privacy issues and caused problems for Facebook.
In Europe, the launch of the app has been suspended indefinitely, precisely because of its facial recognition tool that allows your Facebook friends to be identified.

Many users are not happy with the Facial recognition since every taken picture will automatically be sent to your Private folder present on the app. This means, you will have to take some extra steps to finally share it publicly.
