Social networks have become a central point in today's world where virtually every person with internet access has their account on social media platforms where they share their day to day through images, photos, texts, etc..
Within all this social world, photos have become the favorite medium to show your mood, see where you are in real time, publish memories and much more, but this approach is especially aimed at mobile devices since We go with them everywhere and any moment can be captured.
