product manager Will Ruben said in a blog post : 

"It's hard to get the photos your friends have taken of you, and everyone always insists on taking that same group shot with multiple phones to ensure they get a copy," 

The new application allows users to create groups that sync photos to friends

"You can then privately sync those photos quickly and easily with specific friends, and they can choose to sync their photos with you as well," Ruben said.

"Now, you and your friends have all the photos you took together.

Moments uses facial recognition technology to group photos based on the friends who are in them, similar to the "tagging" used by the Facebook social network.

The new app was launched Monday for users of Apple and Android handsets in the United States, and will be rolled out to other countries over time.
