US EditionMeta AI App Exposes Users' Private Chats in Discover Feed
GLOBAL, JUN 12 – Over 6.5 million downloads since April, Meta AI's public sharing feature has led to unintentional exposure of sensitive user conversations, raising serious privacy and legal concerns.
- Meta released its AI app on April 29, 2025, which features a public feed displaying users' AI conversations linked to their social media identities.
- Users do not expect their prompts or sensitive information to be publicly visible, and Meta does not clearly indicate where content is posted or the privacy settings involved.
- Reports show the app contains posts revealing private details, such as medical issues, legal questions, and test answers, often traceable to real Instagram or Facebook accounts.
- The app has been downloaded 6.5 million times, and Meta includes a warning pop-up informing users that any prompts they share are accessible to the public, advising them not to include any personal or sensitive details.
- The public exposure raises serious privacy concerns and suggests Meta underestimated the risks of sharing AI interactions on a social media-style feed.
