I don't know why this got downvoted, while the question "does FB listen in on you" may not have a definitive answer, the answer to the question "does FB messenger look at your conversation text" is "yes":

I think the idea is that you could capture a better photo with more detail up front then post-process afterwards to how you want it to look. Although I get what you're saying, some of the night photos looked great on the default camer

Can you access google photos through other apps on an Android phone? On mine all I can see are my local photos, even in something like Hangouts.
