WhatsApp is testing the “Incognito” mode, a function that will allow users to interact with a destination for without leaving traces and without messages being used to improve or customize the service. This means that when the function is active, it will be possible to start completely temporary sessions, where each content exchanged will be eliminated at the end of the conversation. The new mode will therefore act as a sort of “private navigation” for the chats started with the chatbot based on the artificial intelligence of Meta. The Meta Ai memory functions, which allow you to save personal information for more targeted suggestions, will not be operational during the incognito sessions. The function, currently being developed, will be activated in a very simple way directly from the chat interface. It is not yet clear when the function, currently available only for beta testers, will also be extended to users who use the stable version of WhatsApp.
What is the new “Incognito” mode of WhatsApp for
The new “Incognito” mode is a novelty present in the update of WhatsApp Beta for Android characterized by the number of version 2.25.28.1. Where developers have introduced tools to make interaction with destination safer and conscious. At the moment, when they are shared with the Ai di Meta personal details, these are stored in the “memory” of the chatbot, thus allowing the latter to return personalized answers over time. With the activation of the incognito mode, all this is temporarily suspended for the current session: no information provided is recorded or used in the future and, once the conversation has been closed, the system will automatically eliminate the entire chronology of the chat, preventing any subsequent tracking.
Just a small engraved to better understand the question of Meta Ai memory, that is, the chatbot’s ability to “remember” the information you decide to share. Normally, this system allows the AI to behave like a personal assistant: if you tell you that you are vegetarian or that you work in marketing, the answers that will give you from this moment will take into account these personal details. With the incognito mode, you will prevent artificial intelligence from capturing and remembering personal details on your account. A similar function is also present for other chatbots AI, such as chatgpt.
How to activate incognito chats on WhatsApp with a destination ai
The activation of the mode will be very intuitive, at least according to the first rumors provided by the specialized portal Wabetainfo (who discovered the function). Before starting a chat with destination ai, just go to the chat settings and select the incognito mode option. With regard to the intuitiveness with which it is possible to activate the function, the aforementioned portal said:
The incognito navigation mode is currently being developed, but has already been designed to be intuitive and easy to activate once released. A simple action available directly in the chat interface will allow users to activate this mode focused on privacy before starting a conversation. Once activated, all shared messages during the session will be treated as temporary. Meta Ai will respond as usual, but without memorizing any information or customizing the suggestions on the basis of previous interactions. This guarantees that the experience Ai is completely in real time, without any impact on long -term memory.
When the “Incognito” mode of Whatsapp is available
Regarding when the “incognito” mode is available, we have not yet known. It is likely that it will pass some time before this can see the light in the stable version of the WhatsApp app, the one used by the majority of us. This is because the development of the function is still in an initial phase and WhatsApp could introduce various changes and improvements before issuing it to the general public. The timing will depend a lot on how the tests of the next few weeks will go.
