Meta AI Launches in Europe with Limited Features After Regulatory Delays

The AI assistant will initially support text-based chatbot functions in six languages across Meta's platforms, with plans for future feature expansion.

Meta AI is now available in 41 European countries and 21 overseas territories, nearly a year after delays caused by privacy regulation concerns.
The European version of Meta AI is limited to text-based chatbot functionalities and does not include multimodal features like image generation or editing.
The assistant is integrated into Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, allowing users to interact with it in group chats and access curated content.
Meta AI in Europe is not trained on EU user data, reflecting compliance with the region's stringent privacy regulations.
Meta plans to gradually expand the AI assistant's features in Europe to achieve parity with the U.S. version.
