While your uploaded photos are safe, all smartphone photos synced to the app in the background will be permanenetly deleted. The social network has threatened to delete thousands of photos stored online, if users don’t install their Moments app. Not satisfied with shifting it’s messaging feature on smartphones to a standalone app, Facebook is now pushing users to install another additional app. The reason for that is now clear, as Facebook has said it will delete all those privately synced photos if users don’t switch to Moments. Later in June 2015, that feature was disabled in the core app, in favour of adding it to a new app, Moments.
