New York: Facebook is going to discontinue its auto-sync feature in a month and will suggest that users download its photo-specific Moments app instead, media reports stated.

Starting January 10, Facebook will replace its 'Synced from Phone' photo album with a notification explaining the change and a link to download Moments. Facebook says that as people increasingly share photos on social platforms through mobile, the photo syncing feature for its mobile app has become irrelevant.
