Facebook is shifting the movie-making Slideshow feature from its Moments (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moments-get-photos-you-didnt/id991346515?mt=8) app to its flagship iOS app in an attempt to counter Apple's Photos update in iOS 10 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-10/).
For those unfamiliar with Apple's big addition to its Photos app coming in iOS 10, a new feature called Memories (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/13/new-ios-10-features-include/) uses facial- and object-recognition to automatically cluster photos based on people, scenes, dates, and locations, and intelligently creates mini-****** of occasions like vacations, birthdays, and weddings.

Similarly, Facebook's Slideshow feature, which originally appeared in August as part of its photo-centric Moments app, combines user photos and videos into a short clip that can be customized with transitions, themes, and music soundtracks.
In its new manifestation in Facebook's flagship app, the feature will **w do this automatically whenever users take at least five photos or videos in the last 24 hours. And if users come upon a slideshow in the News Feed, they can tap a "try it" option to make their own. Images can be edited to add or remove images, and themes include***stalgic, Playful, Night Out, Birthday, Epic, Thankful, Tropical, Bollywood, and Amped.
The move represents a direct attempt by the company to take on Apple's movie-making feature in iOS 10, which is coming this fall, although both companies are actually playing catch-up to Google, which offered a similar feature last year as part of Google Photos Assistant (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-photos-free-photo-video/id962194608?mt=8).
Earlier this month, Facebook attracted the ire of users (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/11/facebook-forcing-install-moments-synced-photos/) by forcing account holders to download its Moments app if they wanted to keep synced photo albums uploaded from their mobile devices.
Users were informed by email and via app **tifications that these albums will cease to exist on July 7, and that they should either download the albums, or install the company's photo-centric Moments app to keep them in the cloud.
