Do You Have to Turn Off Meta AI on Every Device?

Once you disable the feature for your account, it syncs with Facebook on your other devices, so you only have to do it in one spot. For example, if you turn off Meta AI summaries on the web, it will also deactivate in the mobile app, and vice-versa.

If you decide to allow summaries later, you also only have to reactivate them in one place (on the web or in an app). Your settings always carry over to every platform.
