Manus says it will return to operating as an independent company. During that transition, data generated by certain affected users on or after December 29, 2025 will be deleted from 8:00 a.m. on August 23 through August 24, 2026 in Singapore time to meet regulatory requirements in specific jurisdictions.
Affected users can create backups until 7:59 a.m. SGT on August 23 and restore them beginning at 8:00 a.m. SGT on August 25. Manus says it will notify affected accounts in the app and by email; users who registered with Apple ID or Facebook should rely on the in-app notice.
The practical action is simple: if the account is marked affected, export now and repeat the backup after any new work. The broader systems lesson is that agent outputs need an owner-controlled export path before corporate or jurisdictional boundaries change, not after access is interrupted.
