While Meta AI can be a useful tool for many users, there are those who prefer not to have this artificial intelligence integrated into the messaging app.
The instant messaging app WhatsApp often introduces new features to improve the user experience, and it has recently incorporated an advanced artificial intelligence called Meta AI.
This new feature consists of an AI chat that allows users to ask various questions and request tasks, similar to what other AI platforms offer.

How to disable WhatsApp Meta AI
It is not possible to completely remove the Meta AI artificial intelligence option from WhatsApp, but you can delete the chat in which you interact with this feature.
To disable Meta AI on WhatsApp, you need to open the app on your phone and access the chat you interact with Meta AI on. Then, follow one of the following options as appropriate:
- If the AI feature operates as an independent contact, the chat can be deleted.
- If Meta AI is in a group, the administrator can delete it.
- If Meta AI is part of a help desk, it can be disabled within the chat settings.
In case you are unable to disable this new feature, the cited outlet suggests that you can block the contact to avoid interaction with Meta AI.
To block a chat with WhatsApp’s new artificial intelligence, you must follow these steps:
- Enter WhatsApp
- Open chat on Meta AI
- Tap the contact name (at the top of the screen).
- The contact information will appear there and you must scroll down and select “block contact.”
