Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared

  Same here. I wanted to include it too but it is not as quite bad as the other two(at least I hope so because I can’t avoid it). But yeah you never know with these Meta apps.

    Oh it’s just as bad, believe me. Have restricted its access to only pre-selected photos, disabled running in background but that’s about all I can do. It has to have access to my contacts to be usable, and who knows what they do with that data.

      Actually, contacts access isn’t strictly necessary! I run it with the permission disabled, and although it complains regularly, it still works. I don’t have any issues with having to remember people’s numbers either since they’re recognisable from the profile pictures and because I talk to the same few people usually

        I don’t have that kind of memory unfortunately. It seems there is similar limitation mechanism to contacts as there is for pictures on iOS, but picking each individual person I like WA to know from a list of a few hundred people is quite painful.
