New rotor option for facebook?

Hi Guys,

Just noticed that if you get a FB post with a photo or attached text image there now seems to be a new rotor option that says "get detailed image descriptions" I'm sure this wasn't there before and the explore image is still there. Was wondering if this was an Apple intelligence thing as I have this on my phone. Equally strange and this maybe a fb bug now if you go into a post the photo is no longer there. I'm on iPhone 15 pro iOS 18.3 beta.

Can someone who has facebook but not apple intelligence check to see if they have this option. That may clarify things.

I am using an iPhone 13 Pro Max which does not have access to Apple Intelligence and the option is there for me. It's pretty basic though. This is what I got "May be an image of 2 people and polaroid" with various tags and things like "person" and "polaroid"

I wish they would just make it easy to share with Piccybot as using the Facebook app is like constant FOMO. (And I am too lazy to go taking screenshots or saving the photos.)

Yeah, this has been there for a while, and it's not Apple Intelligence related, because I also had it on my SE2.
One thing I have noticed though, which is annoying, you can like, comment, share, etc, but actually doing any other reaction than just liking is not in the rotor anymore. You can still go in to the post, find the like button, and long press to get the other reactions, but it's not in the rotor anymore.
