The investigation, which began in 2025, did not examine whether the photographs and videos accessed through the feature were used to train artificial intelligence models, the Italian authority said. Meta has denied using the content for that purpose.

However, the regulator reserved the right to investigate separately another feature introduced in 2026 that allows users' gallery content to be processed through cloud-based systems.

The €805 million penalty represents about 0.47% of Meta's global revenue, according to the authority.
