Meta launches Incognito Chat on WhatsApp, the first AI mode it says even Meta cannot read
Summary
Meta launched Incognito Chat for Meta AI on WhatsApp and the Meta AI app, running the assistant inside WhatsApp’s Private Processing Trusted Execution Environment so Meta says it cannot read conversations. Chats in Incognito mode are deleted by default and leave no server-side record, and Meta published a technical whitepaper for external review. Meta will also add a Sidechat feature that uses Private Processing to provide AI help inside existing WhatsApp conversations without exposing responses to other participants. The rollout begins this week with broader availability in coming months, though researchers note enclave-based systems have been subject to side-channel criticisms and legal questions remain about resistance to subpoenas.
