The Meta AI app may have a "personal chat problem" that has the potential to escalate into a major privacy issue. Users of the AI assistant developed by Facebook's parent company have complained that its "Discover" feed is reportedly displaying user prompts publicly without them being aware of the same. This feature was introduced with the transition from the Meta View app to the Meta AI app in April. It allows others to see the types of prompts people are submitting to Meta’s AI chatbot. However, a concerned user named Justine Moore took to the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to note observing prompts in the public feed that suggest users may not know that their queries are being openly displayed. This raises significant privacy implications for users interacting with the Meta AI service.

In the X post, Moore shared screenshots of personal chats that Meta AI is showing other users and wrote:

Later on, in the same thread shared transcribes of some chats, Moore further wrote:

Moore further added.

As Moore suggests, users have been unintentionally exposing sensitive information on Meta AI. Users are advised to refrain from sharing prompts containing private medical and tax details, addresses, and intimate confessions (ranging from relationship doubts to personal dating inquiries) with the app as they seem to be appearing publicly.
