Overview

• The opt-in “cloud processing” prompt appears in Facebook’s iOS and Android apps in the US and Canada to upload camera roll images for AI-driven collages, recaps and filters
• Meta says photos collected during this test won’t train its AI models and will be deleted within 30 days of opt-out
• No formal announcement or blog post has been issued, leaving details confined to an in-app pop-up and obscure help pages
• Experts caution that the playful framing and vague disclosures may mislead users into granting broad access without understanding long-term data uses
• Some users report seeing AI-generated versions of their private photos without a clear prompt, suggesting accidental opt-ins and uneven opt-out mechanisms
