"Meta is uploading and analyzing your camera roll photos and videos, even ones you haven't posted, in its cloud in order to generate AI-powered suggestions like collages, monthly recaps, themed albums, or AI-restyled versions of your images. Meta has confirmed the feature is a test, saying, "We're exploring ways to make content sharing easier for people on Facebook by testing suggestions of ready-to-share and curated content from a person's camera roll." The test is currently available in the US and Canada, but it's not available in due to those states' privacy laws."
"Meta is showing a pop-up asking users if they want to enable cloud processing, but some users claim they haven't seen it. Instead, they found the toggles in their settings already switched on by default, raising questions about whether clear consent was given. Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I've asked several people to check whether camera roll sharing suggestions were enabled in their Facebook app. Besides myself and ZDNET's editorial director, my partner, in-laws, and many friends all found the options turned on without their knowledge. Some people recall seeing a pop-up from Facebook, while others do not."
Meta uploads and analyzes camera roll photos and videos, including unposted items, into its cloud to generate AI-powered suggestions such as collages, monthly recaps, themed albums, and AI-restyled images. The feature is being tested and is available in the US and Canada, while being blocked in some states due to privacy laws. Camera roll sharing suggestion toggles appear in Facebook mobile app settings and may be enabled by default, with navigation varying across devices (for example, Samsung users must access Profile/Menu, tap the gear icon, then select "Camera roll sharing suggestions"). Reports of inconsistent pop-ups raise consent concerns.
