In case you missed it, Google and Meta recently came out with new integrations that read and sweep messaging to train their AI algorithms and language.
On Google, this means it reads your emails, including archives and integrate the messages into their AI platform Gemini.
On Meta this includes all messages including DMs on all their platforms that have ever been sent. That means Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Meta will begin pulling this data on December 16th, 2025
Both these platforms include voice memos, attachments and any written language still visible on your platform, this includes any past items or messages whether they have been deleted, hidden, blocked, kept in drafts etc.
Follow the link below for a step-by-step guide on how to opt out of these integrations. Make sure that you were doing this on all personal or professional accounts you do not want Meta or Google's AI to access.
