Manus will soon resume independent operations; some users need to complete data backup by August 23.

TechFlow News, August 11, according to Manus announcement, Manus will soon resume operations as an independent company. To comply with regulatory requirements in specific jurisdictions, some affected users need to complete backing up data generated on December 29 and thereafter before August 23, 2026, 7:59 (UTC+8), and initiate data restoration starting from August 25, 8:00 (UTC+8), to ensure normal use of the service.

Manus stated that affected users will be informed of relevant arrangements via email and in-app notifications; if accounts are not affected, no action is required. The company also stated that affected users will not be charged during the transition period and will receive corresponding compensation.

This move means that its acquisition deal with Meta Platforms is close to being fully terminated. The deal was previously required to be terminated by Chinese regulatory authorities in April this year.
