Meta launches Incognito Chat on WhatsApp, the first AI mode it says even Meta cannot read

SMRTR summary

Meta has launched Incognito Chat for WhatsApp, an AI mode designed so that even Meta itself cannot read user conversations. Built on WhatsApp's Private Processing system, it runs inside a secure enclave where messages are processed but never logged or stored server-side. Chats delete automatically after each session, and Meta has published a technical whitepaper inviting outside review of the system's design.
