Meta AI launched its standalone app for Android and iOS devices which represents a new milestone in the competition between leading AI tools for smartphone dominance. The application utilizes the Llama 4 model from Meta to deliver text and image generation capabilities and editing features and voice interactions although Indian users cannot use voice chat functionality.
The launch of the app in India coincides with Meta’s plan to introduce its AI-powered Ray-Ban glasses throughout the region. The smart glasses from Meta integrate Live Translation and Instagram messaging alongside real-time contextual assistance which demonstrates Meta’s extensive commitment to consumer AI technology.
The Discover feed within Meta AI functions as a distinctive feature which distinguishes it from other applications. Users can view a timeline-style Discover feed which displays their interactions with the app through shared image generation activities. Users have the option to participate in the social feed by sharing their prompts which establishes Meta AI as an early adopter of social media-style generative AI exploration.
The absence of a paid subscription tier in Meta AI provides a competitive advantage over ChatGPT Gemini and Grok. The application provides full web search functionality which enhances its ability to generate recommendations and perform research and solve problems.
The dedicated app represents a significant advancement of Meta’s AI technology which was first introduced through WhatsApp and Instagram and Facebook and Messenger. The Llama 4 model achieved a Turing Test score greater than 50% which demonstrates Meta’s valid confidence in its entry into the rapidly evolving AI market.
