The New York Times Crossword has the answer collection of Facebook photos, which typically implies a photo album as a witty one. In Facebook, the users have albums where they stock and distribute photos, hence the crossword answer clue is referring to the album and not a literal stack of photos. It is common terminology in the puzzle to relate common day digital behaviors with the canonical wordplay by using modern technology terminology.

Yeah, in the NYT crossword the answer is usually “ALBUMS.” On Facebook, a collection of photos is organized into photo albums, so that’s the connection.
