Manus splits from Meta, force-deleted some users' data for 48 hours

Your move: Manus is independent again, with new features reportedly coming

On August 11, 2026, Manus said it was splitting from Meta, which had bought it back in December 2025. To follow certain regulations, Manus deleted some users' data from the Meta period and paused access from August 23-25, though it gave people tools to back up their data first. Manus says new features are on the way.

Why it matters

The data deletion has already happened, so there's nothing to act on right now. But Meta buying Manus and then letting it go within eight months is a sign the platform may not be stable. Worth keeping an eye on before you rely on it for important work.
