What changed
Meta released its first standalone Meta AI application, built on Llama 4, with voice and text chat, optional remembered preferences, a Discover feed, glasses management, and continuity with meta.ai.
Why it matters
Meta AI became a separate consumer destination rather than only a feature inside social apps, with personalization and social sharing creating new privacy choices.
What to do
Review memory, microphone, Accounts Center, and sharing controls before use; keep sensitive queries out and independently verify web-derived recommendations and generated content.
Caveat
Full-duplex voice and personalized answers launched only in selected countries, technical inconsistencies were acknowledged, and nothing should be assumed private merely because it was not shared publicly.
