Asking Meta AI a prompt doesn't make it public. But there are two problems specific to the Meta AI app that make this an issue. One is that when you create your Meta AI account, it defaults to your Instagram name, so many people have their actual names and pictures on their profiles.

Meta AI public search issue sparks concerns as user prompts appear in public feeds, exposing sensitive queries traceable to social profiles.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta AI app has become the saddest place on the internet with its public feed of personal overshares.

Launched in April, the Meta AI platform offers a “discover” feed that includes user queries containing medical, legal, and other seemingly sensitive information.

Meta AI is going viral for showing user chats that should not be public, so be sure to fix your privacy settings ASAP.

Tap your profile icon at the top right. Tap “Data & Privacy” under “App settings.” Tap “Manage your information.” Then, tap “Make all your prompts visible to only you.” If you’ve already posted publicly and want to remove those posts, you can also tap “Delete all prompts.”

Meta agreed to pay $14.8 billion for a 49 percent stake in the AI data firm Scale AI, which will give the company access to talent and data services.
