Additional Workarounds
- Use Basic Mobile Site: For Facebook, you can use the basic mobile site (mbasic.facebook.com) to avoid Meta AI. This version of the site does not include AI features.
- Ignore AI Prompts: While you cannot completely disable Meta AI, you can choose to ignore AI prompts and continue using the search functionalities as usual.
Unfortunately, there is no universal switch to completely deactivate Meta AI across these platforms. However, the steps above can help you minimize its presence and reduce notifications from the AI chat features.
