## Concerns Over Meta AI on WhatsApp: Can You Delete Conversations?
**Host:** Welcome back to TechTalk. We’re diving into the latest updates on Meta AI’s integration into WhatsApp. While this new feature promises exciting possibilities, some users are voicing concerns about privacy and data retention. Joining us today to shed light on these issues is Tech Analyst, Sarah Jones. Sarah, thanks for being here.
**Sarah:** Thanks for having me.
**Host:** So, Sarah, many people are excited about the potential of using AI on WhatsApp for things like quick answers and information retrieval. But there’s also growing concern about what happens to the data generated from these AI conversations? Can users delete their interactions with Meta AI?
**Sarah:** Absolutely. That’s a valid concern. According to information from WhatsApp [[1](https://faq.whatsapp.com/711493831174250)], users do have the option to delete their chats with Meta AI. This means you have control over your past interactions and can choose to remove them from your WhatsApp history.
**Host:** That’s reassuring to hear. But what about privacy? WhatsApp assures us that personal messages and calls remain end-to-end encrypted. Does this encryption also apply to conversations with Meta AI?

**Host:** That’s important to keep in mind. Any final thoughts for our viewers as they explore this new feature?
**Sarah:** Weigh the benefits against the privacy considerations. Consider the types of information you share with Meta AI and be aware that your interactions are used for training purposes. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to engage with Meta AI on WhatsApp is a personal one.
