Overview

• Meta’s iOS apps, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and Messenger, no longer support Apple Intelligence features like Writing Tools and Genmoji.
• Apple Intelligence, introduced in October 2024, offers on-device AI tools focusing on privacy, but developers can opt out of integrating it into their apps.
• Meta has chosen to block Apple Intelligence, instead steering users toward its proprietary Meta AI, which is integrated across its platforms.
• A recent Instagram update removed iOS keyboard stickers and Genmoji support in Stories, further reducing Apple Intelligence functionality within Meta apps.
• Apple and Meta previously discussed integrating Meta’s Llama AI model into Apple Intelligence, but the deal fell through over privacy concerns.
