The glitch, reported by users over several weeks, inserts phrases like "Massive W" and "We are totally feasting, bestie" into shared posts without user input.
Meta's communications team confirmed they are examining the issue, which appears linked to AI-generated captions, though no official cause or fix has been announced yet.
