Overview

• Meta AI is now live for German users on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, following a delayed rollout to address EU privacy regulations.
• The chatbot cannot be fully disabled but can be muted in chats and groups; it remains embedded in search bars across platforms.
• Meta plans to use public content from its platforms to train AI starting May 27, with users given until May 26 to opt out via online forms.
• While personal WhatsApp chats remain end-to-end encrypted, interactions with Meta AI are not encrypted and are considered public.
• European users face limited functionality compared to the US version, with features like voice-message transcription and group-chat summarization unavailable.
