Facebook now prompts users to opt into cloud processing that analyzes their camera roll photos for AI-generated suggestions, including images not yet shared on the platform.
By tapping “Allow,” users consent to ongoing upload of photos to Meta servers, where AI analyzes metadata, faces, objects, and location per Meta’s AI Terms of Service.
Generated suggestions include collages, recaps, AI restylings, and photo themes visible only to the user and not used for ad targeting.
Users can disable the feature in Facebook Settings under “Camera roll sharing suggestions,” with two toggles for browsing and cloud processing.
Meta states the feature is opt-in, limited to the U.S. and Canada, and that camera roll media won’t be used to train its AI models during this test.
Privacy concerns persist over unclear terms and long-term use of personal media beyond the current test.
