WhatsApp adds an incognito mode in Meta AI chats
WhatsApp is introducing an incognito mode for Meta AI chats, ensuring user privacy by not saving conversations and making messages disappear by default. This feature, powered by Meta's Muse Spark model, allows users to engage in private discussions with the AI without their data being stored or viewed.
WhatsApp is rolling out a new incognito mode for its Meta AI chatbot, allowing users to have private conversations that are not saved and disappear by default. This feature will be available in one-on-one chats with Meta AI and on the standalone Meta AI app. Closing the chat, app, or locking the phone will end the session, clearing the AI's context of the conversation.
Meta emphasizes the importance of privacy, especially as people increasingly use AI for sensitive topics such as financial or health inquiries, or for advice on personal messages. The company has been building secure AI chat infrastructure to maintain end-to-end encryption while integrating AI capabilities.
The incognito chat feature utilizes Meta's latest Muse Spark model. This new addition follows previous AI features that used smaller models, demonstrating Meta's ongoing efforts to enhance its AI offerings with robust privacy measures.
Building on this privacy-focused approach, Meta is also developing
