Key point

The app, launched on iOS and Android in the Philippines, lets users hatch a virtual pet that listens to voice or text entries and writes journal notes with doodles.

Details

  • Meta launched Waddle World, an AI-powered virtual pet app described as a Tamagotchi clone, currently available on iOS and Android in the Philippines.
  • The app functions as a journal where users describe their day via voice or text, and the pet writes up the note in its own voice with a doodle.
  • Meta explicitly states the app is not a chatbot, assistant, or productivity tool, and is flagged for users older than 18.
  • The app includes mini-games and sends a weekly email based on what the pet learned about the user.
  • The launch may be a precursor to Meta's Muse-powered Tamagotchi-like gadget, following previous AI app experiments like Pocket and Vibes.
