What is Meta AI?

Meta AI is the assistant Meta has added to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger, with a standalone web and mobile app. Many people use it without installing anything new.

It answers questions, helps with writing, creates and edits images, and can be added to group chats. It is convenient for everyday use, but offers fewer professional features than dedicated assistants, and it is worth reviewing how your conversations are used.
