Be careful what you say on WhatsApp: Meta AI will remember all your details
WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow us to have a more natural and personal experience with MetaAI, the chatbot built into the instant messaging app.
Not long ago, MetaAI functions were included in WhatsApp and very soon it will be able to remember all our tastes and even certain details of our lives which could make it our best virtual friend.
Specifically, it's a new feature called Chat Memory that will include Meta AI in WhatsApp, where the chatbot will remember certain details we shared with this AI.
Meta AI in WhatsApp will automatically record details like tastes, hobbies, foods we like or dislike, and other things.
It will also be able to remember what allergies we have, what books and movies we like, and many other things we've shared.
This new chat memory feature is present in the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android, specifically in version 2.24.22.9, and is supposed to reach everyone throughout 2025.
This will add a new memory section to the Meta AI contact card in WhatsApp. By accessing this card, we can see everything that Meta AI remembers about us.
Obviously this feature is only available when we interact directly with the chatbot and we will not collect anything from our conversations with contacts as it conflicts with privacy.
This way, you don't have to worry about the information you share with your WhatsApp contacts, but be very careful about the data you share with Meta AI lest it start remembering things you wish you could forget forever.
