WhatsApp’s Meta AI Is a Permanent Fixture in Argentina With No Off Switch

WhatsApp positions the assistant as a built‑in feature, leaving users to rely on chat deletion and a reported reset command to limit its presence.

Por qué y cómo desactivar Meta AI en WhatsApp

Overview

  • Argentine users cannot fully remove the blue‑circle Meta AI from WhatsApp, and the app offers no global disable option.
  • WhatsApp’s international communications lead Joshua Breckman says the assistant is integrated like calls or stickers and remains part of the core experience.
  • Local guides outline workarounds such as deleting the Meta AI chat, avoiding interaction, blocking the contact, or asking group admins to remove it.
  • TN.com.ar reports a /reset-ai command that purportedly clears past AI conversations on Meta’s servers, a claim not widely verified in other coverage.
  • Meta states AI chats are confidential, not shared with third parties, do not access other conversations or the microphone, and are encrypted, as privacy and regulatory questions continue in Europe.
