Many people like sharing pictures of their children on Facebook, though as the company’s product manager Dan Barak points out, they tend to become scattered across different albums. Facebook also received feedback people who said that they needed to tag their partners so that the partner’s friends could see the photos too. They wanted a simpler experience and Facebook has come up with one.
Facebook today announced a pilot program for “scrapbook,” its an optional way for people who want to organize the photos of their child they have uploaded to the social network. Only photos that the user tags will be added to the scrapbook.
Since parents will want to be in control of their child’s photos Facebook has built in some security features as well. Users can choose to co-own the scrapbook with their partner who they are in a relationship with on Facebook. Only the user and their partner can choose which photos to tag, and only the two can tag such photos.
To start a scrapbook users have to click on About and then Family and Relationships. There they will have an invitation to create a scrapbook.
Barak says that this feature is rolling out today in the United States for Facebook on the desktop, iPhone and Android.
