Overview

• Meta AI is now active in WhatsApp across Germany, appearing as a blue circle within the app's interface.
• The feature cannot be fully disabled, and users must opt out of public data training by May 26 under EU regulations.
• Meta AI does not automatically scan chats but processes data when users directly interact with it via prompts.
• EU regulators required Meta to implement privacy safeguards, including Private Processing, to protect end-to-end encryption and restrict AI training on user data.
• Privacy experts caution against sharing sensitive information with the chatbot, as it processes and stores user inputs for generating responses.
