It’s false that Meta’s AI can access “all” your WhatsApp messages if you don’t enable advanced privacy: it can only read those where it’s mentioned or those shared with it

It only processes conversations where @Meta AI is explicitly mentioned or those deliberately shared with it. Enabling advanced privacy blocks others from sharing the chat history with the AI.
