Meta AI Private Processing chats may send search terms to search partners
The Private Processing promise that Meta cannot read your messages now covers AI chats that use Private Processing, including chats with friends and family, rather than only messages shared with friends and family. A new sentence says search terms based on your chat may be sent to search partners to produce a response. It also says these queries are not connected to your account.

Won back
- Meta's no-access statement now covers any AI chat that uses Private Processing, not just private messages shared with friends and family
- Statement that search queries sent to partners are not linked to your account
