Meta AI can now record and remember details about you from your chats with it

Meta AI has announced a new feature that might have the privacy-conscious steering away from the app. A new memory feature will now let Meta AI record and remember your conversations with the AI chatbot. Details from these conversations can then be used to give you more relevant responses moving forward.

Here’s how the feature works, how safe it is, and what you can do if don’t like the sound of being profiled by an AI chatbot.

Meta AI memory feature: What’s new and how it works

The new Meta AI memory feature is exactly what it sounds like. The AI chatbot, accessible via Meta’s smartphone apps including Facebook and WhatsApp, can now pick on and record details from your conversations and remember them.

These could be your favourite colour, food preferences, your birthday, marital status, allergies, and even how formal you like your AI conversations to be. Meta AI will then take these into account whenever possible in future conversations to give you more relevant results.

For instance, if Meta AI remembers you’re allergic to peanuts, and if you ask it for some quick and easy breakfast recipes, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich will likely be omitted from the options.

Meta AI will also alert users every time it picks up on something that can be added to its memory, and also that memory additions will only take place in 1-on-1 chats and not from group chats where Meta AI was called in.

Note that the feature is currently being implemented only in the US and Canada.

Meta AI: How to clear the memory

You don’t necessarily have to use the memory feature. If you are concerned about personal details and would like to keep them to yourself, there are a few ways to do this.

The first is to delete certain or all memory instances about you. Every time Meta AI saves something to memory, it will should you a ‘Memory Updated’ message. This is the case on both iPhones and Android phones.

Tap on the View All button with it and you will be able to see all the details that Meta AI remembers about you. From this page, you can delete the instances you don’t want to retain.
