Incident #87BB01 · 24 JUL 2026minor
Instagram privacy policy reworks AI wording and adds AI 'actions' to described features
The July 2026 policy mostly rewords sentences and renames 'AI at Meta' to 'Meta AI' or 'features that are part of AI at Meta'. It adds a new section heading on personalizing AI features and describes AI features as able to 'perform actions' as well as create and understand content. One consent condition for sensitive information changes from 'and' to 'or'.
Taken from you
- Sensitive information clause now reads 'or where you have given your explicit consent', which may loosen the consent requirement
- AI features are now described as able to perform actions using your information
