## Summary

Meta has released Waddle World, a virtual pet app that uses AI to chat with users and turn their conversations into doodles. The app is described as a daily journal in the form of a pet-care game, offering a low-pressure way to reflect and play.

Users speak to their pixel pets and can try small activities such as stacking groceries and word games. The app is listed as free and available only to adults in the Philippines, though that restriction could not be independently verified. Meta has not said whether it plans to launch it elsewhere; it has also quietly released an AI fashion app, Style Sketch, reportedly limited to Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
