Meta suspended a new AI feature just days after introducing it on its platforms, according to a July 13, 2026 report. The tool allowed users to create AI photos like normal selfies or travel pictures, turning them into “high-quality visuals,” and also let people pull images from public Instagram accounts to generate AI photos based on that public account. Widespread backlash followed, particularly from labor unions and Hollywood talent agencies, which called the new feature a violation of privacy and likeness rights.
