Overview

• The ‘Advanced Chat Privacy’ toggle lets users disable Meta AI prompts, automatic media saves and chat exports on a per-chat basis.
• All messages remain end-to-end encrypted and the assistant only processes content when users summon it with commands like ‘@Meta AI’.
• Users do not need to enable the toggle to keep AI out of their chats if they simply avoid invoking the assistant.
• The per-chat setting does not block screenshots or message forwarding, and Meta still collects metadata such as IP addresses and ‘last seen’ timestamps.
• EU and Italian regulators continue probing Meta’s AI training on public social-media posts and its compliance with GDPR.
