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

Meta states that its AI embedded in WhatsApp does not have unrestricted access to a user’s chat history. It only processes messages where it is explicitly invoked with @Meta AI or those that are deliberately shared with the AI. Enabling the “Advanced chat privacy” setting prevents other users from sharing messages with the AI and also blocks chat export.
