Facebook Begins Testing Photo Transfer Tool

It was released in Ireland and starts with Google Photos

Facebook began testing a photo transfer tool that will enable people to transfer their photos and videos from the social network directly to other online services, beginning with Google Photos.

This new feature marks the next step in Facebook’s efforts to provide its users with data portability options.

The photo transfer tool was released in Ireland Monday, with plans to make it available globally during the first half of 2020.

Director of privacy and public policy Steve Satterfield said in a Newsroom post that people with access to the new tool can find it within the Your Facebook Information area.
