More frequently than they\u2019d like, Meta finds itself in the center of privacy-related controversies. There\u2019s a common opinion among some that the tech giant feeds on the user data from Facebook and Instagram to push relevant ads and to train its AI model. Adding to existing woes, some Facebook users now report that Meta could be silently scanning photos from their phone\u2019s camera roll.<\/p>\n

Meta is silently scanning your phone\u2019s camera photos<\/p>\n

Users report that Meta has automatically switched on two toggles that allow it to access users\u2019 camera photos. Even the ones you haven\u2019t uploaded to Facebook. This raises a serious privacy concern as gallery images are usually sensitive in nature. This is done to offer AI-powered suggestions, including \u201cpersonalized creative ideas, like travel highlights, and collages.\u201d <\/p>\n

The new \u201ccamera roll sharing suggestions\u201d feature appears to be on by default even for those who haven\u2019t explicitly granted permission to. This is a part of a new \u201cCloud Processing\u201d function that Meta is testing in the US and Canada. If you did see the pop-up and tapped allow, you are granting AI the permission to analyze \u201cmedia and facial features.\u201d<\/p>\n

Facebook uses your camera roll images, including the dates on them, or the presence of people, or objects. It\u2019ll then suggest recap posts, themed albums, or AI restyled versions of your pictures. These suggestions are visible only to you, but you can share them with your friends. Meta says it won\u2019t use this data for ad targeting.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can turn off the feature<\/p>\n

Regardless, you\u2019re voluntarily or involuntarily permitting Meta to access your camera roll images. This is a big privacy concern. If you want to act on this, you can turn these toggles off. Open the Facebook app, tap the Menu icon in the right corner of the screen, and then select the Settings and Privacy option with a gear icon, and tap Settings again. Scroll down a bit, and you will see the \u201cCamera roll sharing suggestions.\u201d Turn them off if they\u2019re enabled.<\/p>\n
