No more ChatGPT and Perplexity on WhatsApp! Meta quietly updates its policy on third-party AI chatbots

Meta seems intent on maintaining its monopoly in the AI chatbot arena on WhatsApp. Ever since the launch of Meta AI, the company has been adding AI features prominently on WhatsApp and other social media platforms it owns without any “kill switch” for users who do not want to interact with them.

​The company also announced earlier this month that it will use conversations with Meta AI to show ads to users across its different platforms.
