This provision operationalizes data consolidation across Meta's service ecosystem, enabling unified user profiling and information use across Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and other Meta products. The cross-product data pooling establishes a single informational foundation that serves multiple services under common data practices.
The updated policy no longer explicitly discloses that user interactions with AI systems will be used to improve Meta's AI, nor does it describe how data is shared or collected in specific detail. Previously, the policy offered a 24/7 AI support assistant and clear pathways to manage or delete account data; these references are now absent. The removal of these disclosures does not necessarily mean the practices have stopped, but users no longer have explicit written confirmation of these features or data uses within the published policy.
View change record →The updated policy establishes that interactions with Meta's AI assistant will be used to improve Meta's AI systems. The policy states that by using the service, users agree to Meta's AI terms. Previously, the policy did not explicitly disclose this use of conversational data for AI training purposes. This means user conversations with the AI support assistant are now expressly authorized for use in improving Meta's broader AI infrastructure.
View change record →The updated policy narrows the terms users explicitly agree to by using the service from a three-part agreement (Meta Terms, AI terms, and Privacy Policy) to AI terms only. The policy now explicitly discloses that interactions with AIs will be used to improve AI at Meta. This means continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of this narrower agreement scope and explicit participation in AI training data use. You should review Meta's AI terms directly to understand what they cover and what controls, if any, are available.
View change record →Users' Threads activity data, engagement patterns, and account information become available for use by other Meta services and may be combined with information those services independently collect. The terms authorize Meta to apply shared data to advertising, content recommendations, and service operations across all connected products.

"We provide your information to companies that are part of Meta... We share information we collect about you across our different products... The information we collect about you... can be used by the other Meta Products, and vice versa.— Excerpt from Threads's Threads Privacy Policy
