How to Block Meta AI from Using Chat for Ads

Meta using your data for ads is nothing new. But now your AI chats are also used for ads, and using Meta AI costs you free. Here are some tips to prevent ads from Meta AI chats.

How to Block Meta AI from Using Chat for Ads

Deleting your chats now may still prevent Meta from using your chats for annoying personalized ads.

Go to Settings and select Data & privacy > Manage your information > Delete all chats and media .

This will not delete your Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp data used to log in to Meta AI. However, if you have shared Meta AI content on any of those platforms, it will be deleted.

Like other Meta services, there is no way to completely stop targeted advertising and data collection. The only way is to completely delete the account you are logged into Meta AI and create a new one.
