AI BriefingManus Resumes Operations as an Independent Company
Key point
Following its separation from Meta, Manus will delete certain user data and initiate a recovery process.
Details
Manus announced that it is resuming operations as an independent company to comply with its separation from Meta and regulatory requirements in specific regions.
As a result, data generated after December 29, 2025 for some users will be deleted on August 23–24, 2026 (SGT). Affected users must back up and restore their data according to the following schedule:
- Backup Period: August 11–August 23, 7:59 AM (SGT)
- Data Deletion Period: August 23, 8:00 AM–August 24 (SGT)
- Restoration Start: August 25, 8:00 AM (SGT)
- Work data newly generated after the backup must be saved again for the latest backup.
Affected accounts will receive notifications via the Manus app and email. Users who signed up with an Apple ID or Facebook account and do not have an email address must check in-app notifications. No charges will be incurred during this period, and a bonus will be provided after data restoration.
Unaffected users can continue using Manus without taking any additional action. You can check whether your account is affected through the Help Center guidelines.
