Facebook has announced a new data portability tool, which will soon allow you to transfer your media from the Facebook app to Google Photos. The tool will let users bulk export their media instead of having to save and re-upload files one by one.
Initially, Facebook is trying out the feature with Google Photos, however, it plans to rollout support for other media apps eventually.
