How to get rid of ask Meta AI on Instagram? ›

"Meta AI aims to be a helpful assistant and is in the search bar to assist with your questions," Meta said in a statement. "You can't disable it from this experience, but you can search how you normally would engage with a variety of results."

Unfortunately, millions of criminals lurk Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, looking for personal information they can use against you. Every time you answer a question on Facebook that asks for personal information, you put yourself at risk for identity theft or sophisticated scams.

Next, you need to click on the blue arrow to send a message to Meta AI. Once the chat box sends you a message, you need to reply with, “I don't need your help. I want to search the old way.” After typing the reply, you can tap on the name, Meta AI, located in the top left corner, tap “profile,” then block Meta AI.

Starting today, Instagram users who report a locked account will be given the option for two of their friends to confirm their identity. If you choose this method, you will be asked to enter an old password, after which you can select two buddies from a predetermined list of close friends for the app to contact.

The bad news is there's no one button to turn off Meta AI on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger or WhatsApp.

Replying to a message from someone whose Messenger was hacked doesn't mean you will get hacked. However, you may stand a higher chance of receiving more unsolicited messages in the future. Additionally, your chances of having your account compromised increase the moment you start interacting with questionable messages.

A scammer could use your answers to get into your accounts, including bank accounts, the BBB said. The organization advises people always be skeptical when handing over their information, even during a Facebook quiz.

How to respond: Be deliberately vague. You can say, "I do OK" or "I'd like to make more." If the person presses on, let your parents take the fall: Say, "My mother told me to never discuss money," and stop there. "Don't explain your response -- simply change the subject," says Dickinson.

Go to www.meta.ai in your browser. Hover over the conversation you wish to delete, then click next to it. Click Delete, then click Confirm.

Only one account per person or business may be verified, with exceptions for language-specific accounts. We don't verify general interest accounts (example: @puppymemes). Complete: Your account must be public and have a bio, profile photo and be active when you apply.

Is it worth paying for Instagram verification? ›

While the blue checkmark might seem like a vanity issue, it does have practical implications. Social media users tend to trust verified users more. So verification can help content creators build their audience. The verified badge also helps protect from account impersonation.

That means anyone can get a verified badge on their Instagram or Facebook accounts. Both types of verification have the same benefits: Legitimacy. The verification process requires a government ID, so having a verified badge establishes your account authenticity and helps the community know it's the real you.

Like an over-eager personal assistant, Meta AI also pops up under posts on your Facebook news feed, offering more information about what's discussed in the post — such as the subject of a news article. It's not possible to disable this feature, so you'll just have to ignore it.
