New Facebook feature lets AI loose on your camera roll – should you opt in?

A composite image on a blue background shows a stack of photographs, including a central instant photo of four smiling adults at a party, flanked by a photo collage of New York City landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan Bridge, and a photo of a mountain landscape, along with Facebook and other social media icons.

Finding it difficult to track down an image you uploaded to Facebook? Well, here's what might sound like good news. The social giant has introduced a new opt-in feature that will scan your phone’s camera roll, suggest edits and collages, and help you share “hidden gems” you may have missed. 

It’s being pitched as an effortless way to rediscover forgotten moments and make them “shareworthy”. The company says it’s rolling out now in the US and Canada, with plans to expand soon. Facebook adds that all suggestions are private, and nothing is shared unless you choose to post it.
