Facebook updates Camera app for iPhone with notifications to draw users back in

Facebook today released an update for its standalone Camera app for iPhone, which now includes the option to upload photos to albums, as well as notifications when friends Like, tag or comment on photos.

Facebook says photo albums were the app’s most requested feature. Push notifications about friend activity on a user’s photos seems to be a way to encourage users to re-engage with the app. However, users are likely already receiving notifications about this activity through the main Facebook for iPhone app, so it’s unclear if this will result in double notifications, which occasionally happens with the standalone Messenger app.
