Meta to Release Standalone AI App to Compete With ChatGPT

Feb 28, 2025 - macrumors.com
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, plans to launch a standalone AI app in the second quarter of 2025, aiming to compete with AI products like OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Microsoft's Copilot. This new app will complement Meta's existing apps, such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. While Meta's AI capabilities are already integrated into its current apps, the standalone app is expected to offer deeper interaction with its AI assistant. Meta also plans to test a paid subscription service for more advanced features, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg aims to lead in AI by the end of 2025.

In other tech news, Apple is preparing to release several new products and updates. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected later this year with internal upgrades, and iOS 18.4 will be released in April, featuring Apple News+ Food. Additionally, Apple is working on a foldable iPhone with no visible display crease, expected in 2026, and plans to launch AirTag 2 and AirPods Pro 3 around May or June 2025. A small change in iOS 18.4 will also enhance CarPlay by adding a third row of icons for vehicles with larger displays.
