Meta launches end-to-end encrypted Incognito AI chat
meta ceo mark zuckerberg announced incognito chat, an ai mode with end-to-end encryption where messages disappear after the session ends.
meta introduced incognito chat for meta ai, utilizing its private processing technology to offer end-to-end encryption and prevent server-side logging of conversations. unlike competitors' temporary chat features that may retain data for abuse detection or processing, meta claims this mode ensures privacy by making messages disappear immediately after the session ends. the feature addresses growing legal scrutiny regarding ai chat logs, which have been subpoenaed in lawsuits and criminal investigations. incognito chat will roll out to whatsapp and the meta ai app over the coming months.
