Worried about being monitored while using AI chats? Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced the introduction of an "Incognito Chat" feature for Meta AI, utilizing end-to-end encryption. Once a user leaves the chat room, messages are immediately destroyed without leaving any server logs. Zuckerberg also took a jab at competitors, emphasizing that rivals like OpenAI and Google can still snoop on user queries, whereas with Meta, "even we cannot see them." (Previous coverage: Threads has launched a new feature called Ask Meta, allowing users to tag @MetaAI to get answers to questions (currently not supported in Taiwan).)

Are the thoughts and secrets revealed to AI chatbots truly safe? Meta has decided to answer this question with the highest level of encryption technology. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently officially announced the launch of the "fully private" Meta AI Incognito Chat feature. This is not only a major upgrade in the AI privacy war among global tech giants but also a direct challenge to competitors like OpenAI and Google. It is understood that when users utilize this new "Incognito Chat" feature, all messages will disappear immediately upon exiting the chat session. In his statement, Zuckerberg proudly stated that this is the "first major AI product that does not store conversation logs on servers." Although other AI chatbots on the market have similar "incognito modes," Meta emphasizes that their version is fundamentally different—it adopts End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) technology (though ironically, Meta recently removed this encryption feature from Instagram direct messages). Zuckerberg stated bluntly: "Other apps have launched incognito-like modes, but they can still see the incoming questions and outgoing answers." "Meta AI's Incognito Chat is truly private, which means no one—not even Meta itself—can read your conversations." Meta's confidence in claiming "true privacy" stems from the fact that its competitors are still unable to fully let go of user data: - Google Gemini: Officially admits to retaining temporary chat data for up to 72 hours. - OpenAI ChatGPT: Even with temporary chat enabled, conversation history may still be stored for up to 30 days. - Anthropic Claude: Data from incognito chats is retained for "at least" 30 days. Behind Meta's aggressive push for "zero logs," beyond protecting user privacy, it is highly likely a move to avoid increasingly severe legal risks. In recent years, AI chat logs have become core evidence in several major lawsuits. For example, in the mass shootings at Tumbler Ridge in Canada and Florida State University (FSU) last year, ChatGPT logs were extensively investigated; The New York Times copyright lawsuit even included a court order requiring the "indefinite preservation" of conversations. Even more alarmingly, Google is currently facing a wrongful death lawsuit, in which the victim's family alleges that Gemini was involved in instructing a 36-year-old man to carry out a series of "tasks" that led to his death. By utilizing end-to-end encryption and self-destructing messages, Meta is effectively distancing itself from the legal responsibility of providing AI conversation records, because "even they themselves have no files." Meta stated that this Incognito Chat feature is built on the "Private Processing" technology introduced last year for WhatsApp data handling. It is expected to be rolled out to global users on WhatsApp and the standalone Meta AI app in the "coming months."
