WhatsApp Working on ‘Incognito Mode’ for Meta AI Chats: Privacy-Focused Feature in Development
WhatsApp is preparing to introduce a new Incognito Mode for its Meta AI chats. This feature will focus on privacy and will not save chat history. Similar to Safari's Private Browsing and Chrome's Incognito Mode, this feature will allow users to ask questions and research sensitive topics. It is currently in development and not accessible even to beta testers.
WhatsApp can add a new Incognito Mode for Meta AI chats in the future. This is according to a feature tracker. This feature was recently seen in beta and is reported to be privacy-oriented to provide confidentiality. This feature, according to information obtained, will be like Safari's Private Browsing and Google Chrome's Incognito Mode. It is being developed but is not available to beta testers.
WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo found that the instant messaging platform is developing a new Incognito Mode feature for Meta AI. The feature was said to be seen in WhatsApp beta 2.25.28.1 on Android. The feature will enable users to have private conversations with the Meta AI chatbot, where the app will not record a history of their queries to maintain confidentiality.
This feature is expected to roll out in an upcoming update. Currently, data may be recorded for future reference when conversing with the Meta AI chatbot. According to WABetaInfo, once Incognito Mode is turned on, Meta AI will be unable to use the data for training or personalizing the user experience. This will give users more control over their data and maintain privacy.
If a user exits the chat window with Incognito Mode turned on, their queries will automatically be deleted. This means users will be able to easily ask questions and conduct research on sensitive topics without worrying about their data being misused.
According to screenshots shared by the feature tracker, when a user turns on Incognito Mode on WhatsApp, the app will display a warning stating that there will be no personalization, no history, and no memory, meaning these will not be available for future chats. The button to turn it on will appear in the options window, where users can currently start a chat or view past chats.
Recently, a report stated that WhatsApp is also testing a Meta AI voice chat mode. It was reportedly provided to some beta testers to flag bugs and issues in the WhatsApp beta 2.25.21.21 update for Android. It is said to offer several flexibility and personalization options. According to reports, users will be able to initiate two-way voice chats with Meta AI from within the chat window by tapping the Meta icon.
