BBC News | WhatsApp launches totally private 'incognito' conversations with its AI chatbot

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

WhatsApp has introduced an “incognito” mode for its AI chatbot that lets users have private conversations that are not logged or read by Meta, with messages disappearing after the chat ends; this feature aims to let people discuss sensitive topics such as health, relationships and finances without fear of their data being stored, though it is not the same as the platform’s end‑to‑end encryption. The rollout follows criticism of Meta’s AI integration and a promise from head of WhatsApp Will Cathcart that the system will initially support only text and will err on the side of caution for harmful or illegal queries. While Meta touts the mode as a breakthrough in AI privacy, cybersecurity experts warn it could create accountability gaps if AI‑generated advice leads to harm, since neither users nor Meta would have access to the vanished conversation history. The move comes amid Meta’s massive $145 billion AI infrastructure spending plan for 2026, intended to boost its advertising and commerce dominance despite investor concerns.

Incognito or private mode prevents your browser from saving local data, such as history, cookies, and form data, on your device, ensuring privacy from other users of that computer. However, it does not hide your activity from websites, internet service providers (ISPs), employers, or protect against malware and phishing.

Enjoyed listening to the latest #IncognitoMode podcast about the #forkiverse instance. I'm glad you're all here on the Fediverse now!

And to respond to your request - here's a picture of where I was when I heard you wanted a picture on the podcast.

"I stopped using " #Incognito Mode" for #privacy after learning about #fingerprinting"

#Incognitomode is one of the biggest privacy misnomers. The name is designed to make you feel like you're protected #online, that what you're #browsing is #anonymous and hidden away from the world.

But in reality, #privatebrowsing isn't private, and that needs to be addressed.
