Why is Facebook cloud-processing my device’s camera roll? Meta is uploading and analyzing your camera roll photos and videos, even ones you haven’t posted, in its cloud in order to generate AI-powered suggestions like collages, monthly recaps, themed albums, or AI-restyled versions of your images. Where is this feature available? Meta says the feature has rolled out in the US and Canada and remains opt-in. It is not available in Illinois or Texas due to those states’ privacy laws.
