Facebook is about to delete a "secret" group of photos  unless users act soon, according to a CNN Money report.

In 2012, Facebook launched a photo syncing feature that automatically uploads photos from your phone to a private album.

The theory was that it would make the pictures easier to share at a later time. However, the company is doing away with it as part of a plan to launch their new "Moments" app.

Facebook will delete any photos that were previously in a "Synced" folder unless users download and log into Moments to transfer them before July 7.
