Start here

On Facebook, the AI info label can come from signals that Meta detects or from the person posting. Where it appears tells you something: content detected as only edited by AI has the label in the post's menu, while content detected as generated by AI shows it on the post. Ads have their own rules, and many show AI information under About this ad.

Quick checklist for Facebook

  1. Check where the label appears: on the post, or in its menu.
  2. Scan the exact file you posted.
  3. Decide honestly whether AI was used.
  4. For ads, check About this ad on your live ads.
  5. Send feedback through the post menu if a label is wrong.

Common questions

Are Facebook and Instagram AI labels the same?

Both are run by Meta and use the AI info name, but controls and placement can differ between apps.

Do Facebook ads get AI labels?

Some do. Meta labels ads significantly edited with its generative tools and says it will detect some third-party AI ads through industry-standard signals.
