Meta AI in WhatsApp

[Pheno]

I noticed it was in my WhatsApp conversations too.  I've tried to cancel it, like I cancel conversations when they're old, but I can't.  It's a bit worrying because I thought WhatsApp was private.

I have been able to cancel the Meta AI chat thread in Whats App just by the usual highlight and delete although can't get rid of the blue circle.

Thanks Pheno, I found how to do it and same as you, the blue circle is still there. Lurking in the background, which is what I don't like

Thanks Pheno, can't get rid of the little blue circle though.  I guess if we want to contact people for free, we just have to put up with it.  WhatsApp is useful for 'phoning USA at no cost, although it does break down every now and again.

The Whatsapp Blue Circle cannot be removed, it seems. 
We'll just have to keep complaining the Whatsapp till they get the message.

Links to Newspaper websites are useless.

I follow the link and have to accept The Guardian’s Personalised Adds, which is not going to happen.

I could read it and don't subscribe to the Guardian.

More worrying is that I've just had a message via Facebook Messenger from Mr AI Meta.😞. I didn't open it, just deleted it.
