Prime Highlights:
-
WhatsApp now has a new blue Meta AI dot in the chat area to help users with AI tech.

Key Facts:
-
The blue Meta AI dot is part of Meta’s work to mix AI into apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.
-
The AI help gives fast help and smart tips but is not safe as normal chats.
-
You can’t take it off in the app; you need help from support.
Key Background:
Meta just put a new AI tool in its main apps, like WhatsApp, named “Meta AI.” This shows as a small blue dot on the chat screen. The AI aims to work like a smart help, set to answer things, aid with tasks, and make user work better through talk. Yet, not all users like it popping up.
Unlike usual WhatsApp chats that keep talks safe, talks with Meta AI are not private the same. This has made some users who like a safe and alone chat worry. Also, there’s no way to turn off the blue Meta AI dot in WhatsApp setups.
For now, users who want to drop the Meta AI dot must use WhatsApp’s Help part. To do this, open WhatsApp, hit your profile pic, go to “Help,” then “Help Center,” and scroll to pick “Contact Support.” There, you can send a request to take off Meta AI from your list. It’s best to write this in English to speed it up. Some users got the tool taken off in a few hours, based on how fast support replies.
If you’re not set to drop it all, WhatsApp lets you handle your talks with Meta AI. Hit the AI dot, open its page, and pick to clear or move the chat. This won’t drop the AI, but it lets you manage your chat story with it.
All in all, while Meta AI adds new parts to WhatsApp, it also brings mixed views. Until WhatsApp gives more choice for users, talking to support is the only real way to drop the blue AI dot from the app.
