Disabling Meta AI Features on Facebook
Understanding Meta AI on Facebook
Meta AI is a feature in Facebook that analyzes comments on posts to provide summaries. This functionality can enhance the user experience by condensing information. However, some users prefer to disable it due to privacy concerns or personal preference. Below, we explain how to turn off Meta AI both on a web browser and through the mobile app.
Turning Off Meta AI on Facebook via Web
If you’re accessing Facebook through a web browser on your computer, follow these simple steps to disable Meta AI:
Access Your Profile: Click on your Account profile picture located in the top-right corner of the screen.
Open Settings: In the drop-down menu, select Settings & Privacy, then choose Settings.
Navigate to Audience and Visibility: On the left sidebar, scroll down to find Audience and visibility, and click on Posts.
Disable Comment Summaries: On the right side, you will see an option labeled Allow comment summaries on your posts. Turn off this toggle button.
- Return to Home Feed: After changing the settings, use the Home button at the top to exit the settings menu and return to your Facebook home feed.
How to Disable Meta AI on Facebook Mobile App
In case you prefer using Facebook on your mobile device, the procedure to turn off Meta AI is also straightforward. Here’s how you can do it on Android or iOS:
Open the Menu: On Android, tap the Menu icon in the top-right corner, or on an iPhone or iPad, find it in the lower right corner.
Access Settings: Scroll down and expand Settings & Privacy, then tap on Settings.
Locate Audience and Visibility: Look for the section labeled Audience and visibility and select Posts.

Important Note
Users interested in leveraging Meta AI on Instagram for tasks like creating graphics or stickers can explore additional resources for guidance.
If you change your mind about disabling comment summaries, you can easily turn the feature back on by repeating the above steps and switching the toggle back to enable it.
Do You Need to Disable Meta AI on All Devices?
One of the convenient aspects of managing your Facebook settings is that adjustments you make on one device will reflect across all devices linked to your account. This means that if you disable Meta AI comment summaries on the web, it will also be deactivated in the mobile app, and vice versa.
Conversely, if at any point you decide to turn the summaries back on, you only need to do so in one place. Your preferences will automatically carry over across all platforms where you access Facebook.
By following these easy instructions, users can customize their Facebook experience to better meet their privacy and interaction preferences.
