Facebook's Sneaky AI Photo Grab
2025-06-28

Facebook is testing a new feature that requests access to users' camera rolls to suggest AI-edited photo versions, even those not yet uploaded. This "cloud processing" option allows Facebook to upload photos for analysis, creating collages, recaps, AI stylings, and themes. While Facebook claims these suggestions are only visible to the user and not used for ads, its AI terms allow facial feature and other data analysis. This raises privacy concerns, as Facebook doesn't fully clarify data usage or whether it trains its AI models with this data. Currently testing in the US and Canada, users can disable the feature in settings.
