# Does Grok use private X activity, such as DMs or likes, as chat context?

I understand that Grok can work with public X content, but I’m unclear about the boundary around private account activity. If I ask it a general question, could my likes, bookmarks, or [direct messages](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/40075/how-do-i-searchfilter-within-instagram-direct-messages) influence the answer?

Is there a setting that controls this, or does Grok only use information I share in the chat and content that is publicly available?
