Meta Launches Pocket, an AI App for Creating and Sharing Mini-Games via Text Prompts
Meta has quietly launched Pocket, an AI-powered app that enables users to create and share interactive mini-games, called "gizmos," using simple text prompts without coding skills. The app, available on iOS and Android since June 29, 2026, builds on technology from Meta's acquisition of the startup behind Gizmo. Pocket also features a discovery feed for browsing and playing games made by others, aligning with Meta's broader AI initiatives in creative tools. The app appears to be in an experimental phase and is not yet available in all regions.
