Turn off this feature! Facebook wants your phone's private photos
PCWorld
|August 2025
Facebook is asking users for permission to automatically upload private, unpublished images for cloud processing.
A new popup from Meta Platforms is causing a stir.
Facebook users who want to upload stories are prompted to share their photos for “cloud processing,” reports The Verge (fave.co/4kAVHaP). But this also allows Meta Al to access images from their smartphones, even ones they haven't published to Facebook.
This raises questions about data privacy. By agreeing to cloud processing, you enable Meta Al to analyze your private photos. Users who activate the feature can have their photos used for collages, photo themes, or Al-generated edits. However, this gives Meta access to all images in the smartphone’s storage.
