Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of Incognito Chat, a feature for confidential communication with AI in Meta AI and WhatsApp.
According to him, the service does not store conversation history on servers and uses end-to-end encryption, ensuring that no one, including the corporation itself, can read the correspondence.
“Incognito Chat processes all AI responses in a secure execution environment, which ensures your messages are inaccessible to us,” he noted.
The product differs from other similar solutions, where conversation logs are often stored on company servers “for many months.”
“To get the most out of personal superintelligence, we all need the ability to discuss delicate topics in a way that no one can access the correspondence. I am proud that MSL is the first lab to provide a private AI,” Zuckerberg stated.
Google stores data from temporary Gemini sessions for up to 72 hours, ChatGPT for up to 30 days, and Claude for at least a month.
Incognito Chat is built on the Private Processing technology that Meta launched in 2025 for WhatsApp. The feature will be available “in the coming months.”
Lawsuits Involving OpenAI
ChatGPT logs were at the center of recent legal proceedings related to mass shootings in Tumbler Ridge (Canada) and at Florida State University. Sam Altman and his company were accused of ignoring the shooters’ alarming messages.
In a new lawsuit, the parents of a young man who died last year from a drug overdose accused OpenAI and the startup’s head of “encouraging” the intake of a dangerous combination of substances.
Layla Turner-Scott and Angus Scott claim that their 19-year-old son Sam Nelson used the chatbot to get recommendations on combining various drugs.
Back in April 2026, Meta began collecting data on employee actions to train AI agents.
