Meta's latest feature enables Facebook to access users' camera albums and upload photos to its cloud storage, even those not intended for sharing. To safeguard your privacy and prevent this, follow these steps: For iPhone users, navigate to the "Settings" app, tap on "Photos", and disable the "iCloud Photos" option to halt automatic uploads to iCloud. Android users should open "Settings", select "Accounts" or "Users & Accounts", locate their Google account, choose "Sync", and disable the sync feature under "Photos" or "Google Photos". Furthermore, users should review and disable sync features in other cloud services or social media apps that might automatically upload photos. These measures will help maintain your privacy and prevent unwanted photos from being uploaded to the cloud. Remember, disabling photo sync will not remove photos already stored in the cloud or on your device; you must manually delete them if desired.
