Overview

• WhatsApp confirms the AI assistant is a permanent part of the app experience, without a universal off switch or uninstall option in Argentina.
• Local outlets advise minimizing its presence by deleting the Meta AI chat, avoiding interaction, or blocking the contact to keep it out of view.
• TN reports a “/reset-ai” command that it says resets the assistant and deletes stored conversations, a claim not independently verified in the coverage.
• Meta says AI chats are confidential, not shared with third parties, do not access other conversations, and are encrypted in transit.
• The feature can be invoked in one-on-one or group chats and offers translations, content and image generation, though privacy concerns and political scrutiny in Europe continue.
