It is false that Meta's AI can access "all" your WhatsApp messages unless you enable advanced privacy: it can only read those where it is mentioned or those shared with it

The piece explains that Meta’s AI embedded in WhatsApp cannot access all of a user’s messages unless the advanced chat privacy setting is turned on. It can only read messages where the AI is explicitly mentioned with @Meta AI or those that are shared with it. Enabling advanced privacy prevents other users from sharing chats with the AI and also blocks chat export.
