Comment on Facebook is asking to use Meta AI on photos in your camera roll you haven’t yet shared
hietsu@sopuli.xyz 19 hours agoOh 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.

Ahh that makes sense, with more people involved it’s harder to go by. I use Fossify Contacts, and it has an option to save contacts but to make them invisible to other apps. Perhaps that might help you somehow, I’m not sure
