Facebook adds video support to photo-sharing app Moments, but w/o face-recognition

Facebook’s Moments app, launched last summer, makes it easier to share photos with your friends by using both location data and face-recognition to identify which friends were with you when the photos were taken. The latest version of the app now lets you include videos too – but it can’t yet recognize faces in those, so you’ll have to add them manually.

Both photos and images are now presented as a collage, and there are new upload options, including the option to wait for a WiFi connection to avoid burning through your mobile data.

Moments is a free download from iTunes.
