@heleenkuiper That is what Meta writes themselves about it: "In the EU, we will soon begin training our AI models on the interactions that people have with AI at Meta". source: (warning , links to Meta) https://about.fb.com/news/2025/04/making-ai-work-harder-for-europeans/ )

But using WhatsApp and avoiding Meta AI is going to be very hard, see screenshot by @steko : https://scholar.social/@steko/114437837183945507

It is true that the end-to-end encrypted message content will not be used for AI, for now, for as long as none of the participants touch an AI feature. But you can be sure that more and more dark patterns will be used to trick users into using the AI features.

So, the only real solution is to delete WhatsApp.
