Meta Launches Pocket, an AI App for Creating and Sharing Games via PromptsPreviousNext

Meta has quietly launched Pocket, an AI-powered app that enables users to create and share interactive games and experiences using natural language prompts. The app, available on iOS and Android since June 29, 2026, builds on technology from Gizmo, a startup Meta acquired earlier this year. Pocket features a discovery feed for browsing user-generated content and aligns with Meta's broader strategy to expand AI creative tools across its platforms, though the company has not officially announced the app.
