Mark Zuckerberg announces ‘completely private’ encrypted Meta AI chat

Published on May 13, 2026.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the launch of Incognito Chat, a new AI product that uses end-to-end encryption and does not store any logs of conversations on its servers. Messages in Incognita Chat are not saved or stored in users' chat history, but instead stored in the user's chat history. This is a departure from the tradition of storing data from temporary chats in ChatGPT for up to 72 hours, while incognita chats in Claude are kept for a minimum of 30 days. The new product is built on the same Private Processing tech used for processing data in WhatsApp and will be released over the coming months.
