Meta has launched the Meta AI app for Android and iOS in the MENA region.

The app consolidates AI interactions, featuring a personal, intuitive and social experience.

Users can manage devices and share AI prompts for creative interaction.

Some features available in the US and Canada, like 'full-duplex' speech, aren't yet in MENA.

The app offers cross-platform integration and customisation for a tailored AI experience.

The wait is finally over for tech-savvy folk across the MENA region, as Meta officially rolled out the new Meta AI app today on both Android and iOS. The app aims to pull together all your daily AI interactions into one convenient place, designed to feel more personal, intuitive, and—believe it or not—social.

Think of it like a handy dashboard for chatting with an AI assistant, sharing your prompts, learning new tricks, and keeping all your interactions neatly organised. Right at the get-go, the homepage throws open the doors to your Meta AI chat, allowing easy toggling between various tabs. There's even a dedicated Devices tab, where you manage your shiny new tech kit—like those futuristic Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses—letting you adjust settings and browse your snaps seamlessly.

There’s also a nifty "Discover" tab—a sort of social feed—where you can see how other people are flexing their creative AI muscles. You can pinch their best 'prompts' and remix them to suit your needs—which, let's face it, sounds far more interesting than doom-scrolling on your tea break. And if you're anything like me, having the "History" tab handy—storing your previous conversations—will be a lifesaver for those of us who frequently lose our train of thoought.

But hold your horses: certain features launching today in the US and Canada won't be joining us here in MENA straight away. For example, across the Atlantic, folks are now dabbling with something called 'full-duplex speech technology'—imagine having a genuine back-and-forth chinwag with your AI model, almost like chatting on the phone.

Built using Llama 4 tech, the app overseas also adds personalisation and a memory function—meaning it remembers key stuff you tell it, like preferences or interests, shaping its suggestions to suit your lifestyle. Hopefully, it's only a matter of time before we get these extras here too; knowing Arageek readers, you lot are probably chomping at the bit to try these features yourself.

One thing we’re promised from day one is smooth integration across different platforms. So, if you start a fascinating AI convo on your elegant Ray-Ban glasses during your morning commute, you can easily pick it up later on your desktop or via the app itself without breaking stride. And with customisation options aplenty—whether you prefer voice or text, or want to select different voices and functionalities—it’s clear Meta is keen on letting you tailor the AI experience exactly to your preferences.

Most people are still figuring out exactly how AI fits into their daily routines, from seasoned techies chasing innovation to everyday people just wanting a bit of handy digital assistance. Either way, today's launch is certainly another intriguing chapter in Meta’s quest to shape an AI landscape that's genuinely social and accessible.

So, if you fancy giving it a whirl, head on over to the App Store or Google Play and check it out. Who knows—it might just become your new essential app to rival even WhatsApp or Instagram on your homescreen.
