Facebook may be saving photos you never posted
Facebook may use a phone feature that uploads and processes photos from your camera roll even if you never post them. Parents and families should review their app settings to understand what is being collected and turn the feature off if they do not want private photos used this way.
Who is at risk
Anyone who uses the Facebook app on their phone, especially parents and families with personal photos of children, is most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for Facebook asking to back up, upload, or process photos from your phone, especially prompts related to your camera roll.
What to do
Open the Facebook app and your phone settings today to turn off camera roll uploads or photo processing permissions if you do not want Facebook accessing photos you have not shared.
