Overview

• Meta has fully blocked Apple Intelligence features, such as Writing Tools and Genmoji, from its iOS apps, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and Messenger.
• Users can no longer access Apple Intelligence’s text creation, modification, or proofreading tools within Meta’s platforms, despite these features being available by default in most iOS apps.
• Meta also removed the ability to use Apple Intelligence’s Genmoji and iOS stickers in Instagram Stories, steering users toward its own Meta AI tools instead.
• Apple and Meta previously discussed integrating Meta’s Llama AI model into Apple Intelligence, but the talks collapsed over privacy policy disagreements.
• Meta has not publicly explained its decision, but the move is seen as part of a broader rivalry over AI dominance and user data control.
