Meta's new AI tool digs into your camera roll
Meta just dropped a new opt-in AI feature for Facebook users in the US and Canada.
It scans unpublished photos and videos from your camera roll, looking for cool moments you haven't posted yet, and suggests edits or creative collages.
You're always in control—turn it off anytime, and data retention policies may vary, so be sure to review them for more details.
Your data is safe (probably)
Unlike some other tools, Meta says your unpublished pics won't be used for AI training or ads unless you choose to edit or share them with Meta's features.
The tool needs your okay to upload selected images to the cloud (not just your phone), where it checks details like time and location to give personalized suggestions.
Just remember: if you use it, your data is processed on Meta's servers—not locally.
Is it worth it?
What makes this different? Most apps only work with stuff you've already uploaded or posted.
Meta's tool goes straight into your camera roll—but only if you let it.
It might make finding fun memories easier, but given Meta's track record with data, keep an eye on those privacy settings before diving in.
