Summary
Meta has introduced an opt-in AI feature for Facebook users in the US and Canada that analyzes users' phone camera rolls to find and edit unpublished photos. The AI scans through camera rolls, uploads photos to Meta's cloud, and surfaces 'hidden gems' that users can then save or share. The feature is designed to make photos more 'shareworthy' by finding photos lost among screenshots and other random images.
