Introducing Incognito Chat with Meta AI: A completely private way to chat with AI

Chatting with AI has quickly become a critical part of how people get information and ask important questions. And many of these questions can be deeply sensitive, or include situations where people are including private financial, personal, health or work data with their questions. Ten years ago, Meta brought the world end-to-end encryption and now it is extending this privacy to chats with Meta AI.

As part of this effort, Meta is launching Incognito Chat with Meta AI, a new way to have completely private conversations with AI. Built on top of the platform’s Private Processing technology, Incognito Chat lets you talk to Meta AI in a way that is invisible to anyone else.

Other apps have introduced incognito-style modes, but they can still see the questions coming in and the answers going out. Incognito Chat with Meta AI is truly private no one can read your conversation, not even Meta.

Since the company started exploring bringing AI to WhatsApp, it has been focused on how to deliver this power privately, at a global scale.

When you start an Incognito Chat with Meta AI, you’re creating a private, temporary conversation that only you can see. Your messages are processed in a secure environment that even Meta cannot access. Your conversations are not saved and by default, your messages disappear giving you a space to think and explore ideas without anyone watching.

Meta believes this private way of chatting has potential to be part of several ways people chat with AI on WhatsApp. In the coming months, the tech giant will also introduce Side Chat protected by Private Processing. Side Chat with Meta AI will give you private help with any chat, with context of what’s being discussed, without disrupting the main conversation. Meta remains committed to delivering privacy for the world. Incognito Chat with Meta AI is rolling out on WhatsApp and the Meta AI app over the coming months.
