Turning off Meta AI completely on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp is not currently possible. However, there are several steps you can take to minimize its presence and mute its notifications:
Minimizing Meta AI on Facebook
-
Mute Meta AI Chat:
- Open Facebook and go to the search bar, which now appears as a blue circle instead of a magnifying glass.
- Click on the blue arrow that appears to the right.
- This will open the Meta AI chat. Click the "i" icon in the upper right corner.
- Select the "mute" option and choose "until I change it" to mute it indefinitely.
-
Turn Off Comment Summaries:
- Go to "Settings & privacy" from the dropdown menu.
- Select "Settings" and then "Audience & visibility" on the sidebar.
- Under the "Posts" tab, toggle off "Show comment summaries on posts".
Minimizing Meta AI on Instagram
- Mute Meta AI Chat:
- Open Instagram and navigate to the search bar at the top of the page.
- Click the arrow that appears to the right of the search bar.
- This will open Meta AI chat. Click the "i" icon in the top right corner.
- Select the "mute" option and choose "until I change it" to mute it indefinitely.
Minimizing Meta AI on WhatsApp
- Mute Meta AI Chat:
- Open WhatsApp and go to the Meta AI chat.
- Tap on its name at the top of the chat page.
- Tap on "Notifications" and turn on the toggle for "Mute notifications," then select "Always" and confirm.
Minimizing Meta AI on Messenger
- Mute Meta AI Chat:
- Open Messenger and tap on the Meta AI tab in the bottom toolbar.
- Click the "i" icon on the right side of the chat window.
- Select the "mute" option and choose "until I change it" to mute it indefinitely.
Alternative Workarounds
- Use Basic Mobile Site: For Facebook, you can use the basic mobile site (mbasic.facebook.com), which does not include Meta AI features.
- Block Meta AI Profile: On Facebook and Instagram, you can block the Meta AI profile to minimize its interactions. However, this might not completely remove its presence.
While these steps won't completely remove Meta AI from your experience, they can help reduce its intrusiveness. If you find these measures insufficient, consider providing feedback to Meta or exploring alternative social media platforms.
