Meta AI gains new features; rolls out to the UK and more regions

Meta has announced that its AI assistant, Meta AI, is gaining new features and has also begun rolling out to a lot more countries, including some key regions. The AI assistant is integrated into several of Meta's products and services already, but it has only been available in select countries.

As revealed in an official post, Meta AI is now rolling out to users in Brazil and the UK. The AI assistant is also rolling out to users in Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, and the Philippines, and has support for Tagalog, a language spoken in the Philippines.

Meta has also disclosed that the AI assistant will have support for Arabic which is understandable since it will be available soon in several Middle Eastern and Arab countries including Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. It will also roll out soon to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam along with support for Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese.

This roll out brings the countries Meta AI is available in to 43. It is also projected to have almost 500 million active users monthly by the end of the year, which Meta claims should make it the most used AI assistant in the world.

Meta AI (voice support) has also begun rolling out to owners of Ray-Ban Meta glasses (available on Amazon for $299) in the UK and Australia. To use Meta AI on the smart glasses, simply say 'Hey Meta' followed by your command or question. Users can also have conversations with it.

On supported apps such as WhatsApp, writing "@Meta AI'' should bring it up in a chat with friends and family. You can also use the search bar at the top of the screen. For the web version, just enter meta.ai into the address bar of your browser. For devices with a screen, in addition to asking questions, you can also ask Meta AI to generate images.
