Researchers at Redact.dev discovered about 80 WhatsApp help and FAQ pages contained hidden text meant to guide a Meta chatbot, including sections labeled 'WHAT NOT TO SAY' and directions not to give legal advice.

After WIRED asked Meta about the exposure, WhatsApp removed the text and said it was due to a bug that has since been fixed.
