What’s happened? Facebook is rolling out a new feature to help users select the best pictures and videos from their camera roll and share them with others.

The feature relies on cloud processing and AI to identify what it considers the most shareable photos and videos from your gallery (mentions the latest blog post).
In addition, Facebook will suggest creative edits to enhance your pictures or compile a few into a collage.
These suggestions appear in Stories, Feed, and Memories, but they remain private until you choose to post them.
To enable the feature, head to Menu > Settings & privacy > Settings > Camera roll sharing suggestions, and select “Get creative ideas made for you by allowing camera roll cloud processing.”

Why is this important? This feature automates the content selection process, helping you save time, reduce effort, and unlock more creative ideas.

Once enabled, Meta AI will upload media to its cloud on an ongoing basis, analyzing your gallery to determine which photos or videos make the best posts — or which can be grouped into a collage.
Importantly, this is an opt-in feature that is disabled by default. Meta will not access your media unless you enable the feature.
Additionally, the platform won’t use your photos or videos to train its AI, unless you actively use one of its editing tools.

Why should I care? We’ve all been there: you return from a trip or event with a ton of photos and videos, planning to post the best ones, but sorting through them feels overwhelming. This is exactly where Facebook’s new feature could come in handy. Even if you don’t fully agree with Meta AI’s selections, it offers a solid starting point to help you curate a post or Story more efficiently.

OK, what’s next? The post suggestion feature is currently available to users in the United States and Canada. Furthermore, Facebook plans to begin testing it in other regions in the coming months. Looking ahead, we could also see a similar feature for Instagram — another Meta platform where users frequently share photos and Stories.

The popular dating app has announced a global partnership with World, the biometric identity company founded by OpenAI's Sam Altman. To prove you are a real human on Tinder, you will soon have the option to get your eyes scanned by a physical orb device.

I didn’t expect food reels to help my diet – but they might

A new study led by researchers at the University of Bristol has found that people trying to resist food cravings may be using social media content featuring indulgent meals as a substitute for actually eating them. The findings challenge the long-held assumption that exposure to tempting food imagery leads to overeating.

The research, conducted in collaboration with the University at Buffalo School of Management, explored how visual engagement with food content influences eating behaviour. Across three experiments involving 840 participants aged between 19 and 77, researchers combined online surveys with a controlled laboratory study to examine how people respond to food-related media.

AI dating sounds efficient – but I’m not fully convinced

AI dating

Artificial intelligence is steadily expanding into new areas of everyday life, and dating may be next. A new wave of AI “agents” is being developed to simulate personalities, interact with others, and even help users find potential romantic partners - without users having to do the initial work themselves.

According to a report by WIRED, researchers and developers are experimenting with systems that create personalised AI agents, or “digital twins,” designed to represent individuals in virtual environments. These agents can interact with others, hold conversations, and assess compatibility at a scale that would be impossible for humans alone.
