Manus will resume independent operations, impacting some users' data. From August 23-24, 2026 (SGT), data created on/after December 29, 2025, will be deleted. Affected users can back up data until 7:59 a.m. SGT on August 23 and restore it August 25. Unaffected users face no action. Backup tools support multiple saves, and new data after backup must be re-saved. Users will receive app/email notifications. Unaffected users continue using Manus as usual. Meta's acquisition of Manus on December 29, 2025, triggered regulatory compliance requirements in specific jurisdictions. Affected users lose access for two days but receive welcome bonuses post-restoration. Support remains prioritized throughout.

The process involves technical steps: backups must occur before deletion windows close. Users generating new data during the backup period should re-backup to preserve latest information. Restoration begins August 25 at 8:00 a.m. SGT. Data is stored in the US and Singapore. No security breach is involved; this is a regulatory measure.

FAQ highlights include: data deletion scope (post-December 2025), access loss duration (48 hours), and storage locations. Users can check Help Center or contact support. Unaffected users receive in-app alerts. Manus emphasizes continued innovation and user trust.
