Shoto photo app launches on Android and iOS

A new app is launching in the UK today that uses a combination of location and phonebook details to automatically create albums of all the photos taken together by a group of friends at a given place and time.
Known as Shoto, the aim of the app is to solve the problem of never getting to see the photos that other people have taken an event, like a wedding or a office party. However, it also includes privacy controls that let the user select which people at the event get to see their pictures.
When the user downloads Shoto, all of the photos on their phone are automatically organised into albums and backed-up in the cloud. Shoto looks at the user’s phonebook and the geotags on their photos and matches these albums with those from friends that were also present in the same location at the same time.
