According to technology site The Verge, this feature is currently being tested in the US and Canada, operating under an optional activation (opt-in) mechanism. When users agree, Facebook will temporarily Upload photos and videos from their personal library to Meta's server so that the AI system can analyze and select "shared photos" that users can ignore.
After handling, Facebook will suggest:
● Outstanding photos or videos to post to feed or Story
● Proposal to change colors, cut frames, add light effects
● Automatically create albums or collage photos according to the theme
Meta asserted that this data cannot be used for advertising purposes and cannot be used for AI training if users do not make edits or share. All library access can be turned off at any time in the application settings.
Analysts say this move shows Meta's efforts to increase Facebook interaction, as users increasingly rarely post personal photos despite still storing a lot of content in their phones. However, the feature also raises concerns about privacy, because allowing platforms to access personal photo warehouses, even temporarily, is still a potential risk.
Meta has not announced when it will expand the feature to the global market.
