Facebook has introduced a new product, Scrapbook, which lets parents collect photos of their babies, toddlers, or pre-teens in a centralized place which they can share with friends or loved ones.

Scrapbook serves as a handy tool for amassing all those baby photos and storing them in a dedicated, easy-to-access place on Facebook.

According to the Verge, users can create a scrapbook wherein they have to go to the "about" section of our profiles, and then the "family and relationships" tab. There, they will see options to start a scrapbook from scratch or make one for an existing child.

Parents can only make a Scrapbook for their children and for their partners to add photos or change privacy settings, they will need to be linked via Facebook's relationship status section.

There is a popular trend on Facebook, parents tagging their significant other in any photos featuring their children, which made way of keeping those shots in a central place and making them visible for two sets of friends. Parents can tag their kids in other people's photos, too, and get a notification if the privacy setting of those photos changes.

Scrapbook is launching this product first in the US on the web, iOS, and Android.
