Meta introduces Waddle World, an AI-powered virtual pet and journaling application
Meta has quietly launched a new artificial intelligence application named Waddle World. The app functions as a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet that users can interact with and care for, fostering a digital companion experience. A key feature of Waddle World is its ability to generate a daily journal based on user interactions and input, providing a personalized record of their pet's activities and their own. The launch appears to be a pilot or soft launch, with initial availability reported in regions like the Philippines. While most reports focus solely on Waddle World, some outlets also mention Meta launching a second AI app alongside it, though details on the second app are sparse in this coverage. The company itself has not issued a formal press release, with reports stemming from observations of the app's availability.
