Instagram users can now have their public photos used to create AI images through Meta’s new Muse Image feature.
If you have a public Instagram account, your photos can be used by default unless you choose to opt out, meaning you have to turn the feature off yourself
With Muse Image, people can tag a public Instagram account in a prompt, and Meta AI can use that account’s public photos to generate new AI images.
If you don’t want your photos used this way, you can turn the feature off in Instagram → Settings → Sharing and reuse.
Meta says private accounts aren’t included, you won’t be notified if someone uses your public photos, and any AI images created before you opt out will stay available.
