Facebook Messenger’s ‘Photo Magic’ feature automates photo sharing with your loved ones

Too lazy to send the shots you took with your friends? A new feature for Facebook Messenger that’s being tested on Android in Australia can scan the shots in your smartphone for you to look for your Facebook friends and then suggest to send these to the people it finds. It makes sharing quite easy but it might not sit well with people who think Facebook is encroaching a bit too much on your privacy yet again by going through your photos.

How it works is once you take a photo (and you have the feature enabled, of course), a notification will pop up to ask you if you want to send the photo to your friend—right from the notification. Facebook Product Manager Lexy Franklin says you will have full control of the feature. You can turn off facial recognition for yourself and disable notifications if you want. It’ll still be up to you how to use the feature once it makes its way here, which it probably would.
