Meta quietly launched an ‘AI pet journal’ app

Meta has launched a "tamagotchi-style" pet game called Waddle World, whose app store listings describe it as "a daily journal disguised as a pet" in which users talk to virtual creatures that chat back and create doodles. The app, spotted by social media consultant Matt Navarra, is listed as free and only available to adults in the Philippines, and Meta has not said whether it will release it in the US or elsewhere. Meta also quietly launched an AI fashion app called Style Sketch, which Navarra says is only available in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
