Meta, which introduced its AI assistant and chatbot in September, officially integrated its Meta AI chatbot into Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp on Friday. While some welcome this latest development of his AI, others have requested the ability to turn it off.
Meta claims that you can’t actually disable Meta AI, but there are some workarounds.
What is Meta AI Chatbot?
The Meta AI chatbot is described as a “free virtual assistant” that can help you plan trips and dinners, or write captions for your Instagram posts. This feature isn’t inherently terrible, but it looks like it will replace the traditional search bar on the platform. However, you can search as usual by simply typing what you’re looking for.
Meta used Meta Llama 3 to build a chatbot. In addition to the United States, this AI tool is available in Australia, Canada, Ghana, Jamaica, Malawi, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
How do I turn off Meta AI on Instagram?

- Then click the blue arrow to send a message to Meta AI.
- When the chatbot sends a message, it replies, “I don’t need your help.” I’d like to find the old method. ”
- From there, tap Meta AI’s name in the top left corner and tap “Profile” to block Meta AI.
- If you go back to search, you’ll still see the blue circle for Meta AI, but you should be able to search the old-fashioned way.
