Overview
- The feature is available now in the United States and Canada as an optional setting that requires explicit permission to access the device gallery.
- The AI uploads photos and videos to Meta’s cloud to create private suggestions for Facebook and Messenger, including collages, redesigns and summaries.
- Meta says gallery content will not be used for advertising or to train its AI models, and nothing is shared unless the user chooses to post it.
- Users can enable or disable the capability in Facebook’s settings and revoke access at any time.
- Privacy critics warn that gallery access can reveal metadata such as dates and who appears in images, and Meta plans to expand the rollout to additional countries.
