Facebook launches tool to copy all your photos and videos to Google Photos

Facebook has launched a new tool which allows you to easily transfer your photos and videos to another service, although its only available to folks in Ireland initially although a wider rollout will happen soon enough.

This is a feature a lot of people will appreciate, allowing users to conveniently transfer all their Facebook photos and video clips to a third-party service, and the first choice available is to shift media across to Google Photos, with more options to follow.

Privacy and security are key considerations, the social media giant notes, so the data transfer process will involve encryption, and users are asked for a password before a transfer can take place.

Facebook says that this photo transfer tool is rolling out from today, although its still being tested, and will be further honed based on feedback from users.

As mentioned, the utility is currently only available to those in Ireland, with wider availability planned for the first half of 2020.
