WhatsApp's incognito chat feature is now available, with end-to-end encryption upgraded again, but closing the chat will lose all context. This benefits social anxiety users as well as phishing scammers.

AIMPACT reported on May 16 that WhatsApp will launch a "Incognito Mode" feature in Meta AI chatbots, where conversations are handled in a secure environment and cannot be viewed by anyone. Users can enable Incognito Mode in one-on-one chats by clicking a new icon, and the feature will also be synchronized to the standalone Meta AI app. Incognito conversations are no longer saved, and content will disappear after the session ends; if the app is closed or the screen is locked, the session ends and context is lost.
