"The viral post falsely claims that if you do not enable Advanced Chat Privacy, Meta's AI tools will be able to access your private conversations. This isn't true, and it misrepresents both how Meta AI works and what Advanced Chat Privacy is. The confusion seems to spawn from the fact that Meta AI can be invoked through a number of methods, including in any group chat with the @Meta AI command ."
"Similarly, if you or anyone else in the chat chooses to use Meta AI's " " feature, which uses Meta's " Private Processing " technology, that feature routes the text of the chat through Meta's servers. However, the company claims that they cannot view the content of those messages. This feature remains opt-in, so it's up to you to decide if you want to use it."
WhatsApp launched Advanced Chat Privacy to disable certain AI features in chats and prevent conversations from being exported when enabled. The viral claim that failing to enable it gives Meta AI access to private chats is inaccurate. Regular chat contents between people remain end-to-end encrypted on the app, while messages sent to Meta AI are not encrypted in the same way. Meta AI can be invoked with commands like @Meta AI, and features using Meta's Private Processing route text through Meta's servers but remain opt-in with the company asserting it cannot view those messages. Two audits were released detailing issues and fixes.
