How? The website doesn't mention this.

Hi jonalmeida!

It uses the photos' geolocation information and your Facebook friends. If you and a friend of yours take pictures in the same place and at the same time, most probably you were together. Hope this clears it :) Radu

Ahh, so if I'm the only one taking pictures that night, then the app won't know to include my friends?

You can add the friends who didn't take pictures to the album so they also get the photos. Even though it's a manual step, it's easy to do.

What if you're at a concert, or the Superbowl? Will everyone at that location receive your photos?

No. This is where Facebook gets in. We use it to filter your friends so no pictures get outside your circle.
