Your public Facebook posts could help inform AI-generated results in Meta's new AI Mode. When you search on Facebook, the "AI Mode" option will appear alongside the usual search modes like "People" and "Marketplace." It's one of several new AI features Meta is rolling out starting today, including photo presets that swap sports jerseys onto fans and suggestions for collage templates.

Instead of "just links," it gives users AI-generated results that pull from publicly-posted content across Meta's platforms, like the AI search feature in its new Reddit-like Forum app. Users can also ask Meta's AI follow-up questions in response to the search …

Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram appear to be down for many users this morning.

These five AI image-editing prompts can help improve backgrounds, outfits, headshots, product photos, and image quality across today’s top tools.

By integrating an AI assistant directly into Edits, Meta is aiming to keep creators engaged on Instagram as it continues to compete with TikTok and YouTube for creators' attention.

Instagram is going to let you tweak what its algorithm shows you on your main feed. With the Your Algorithm feature, "you can now see the topics we think you're interested in, and change them, across all the major parts of Instagram," according to Instagram boss Adam Mosseri. Right now, the feature will only surface topics, but Instagram is working on "supporting requests for people, different moods or vibes, content types, and more."

The company has been slowly giving users more agency over some algorithms on Instagram, having already launched the Your Algorithm feature for your Reels feed and the Explore page. With Wednesday's announcemen …

Over 15 years after David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network premiered in theaters, Sony has released the first trailer for The Social Reckoning ahead of its theatrical release on October 9th. The follow-up takes place 17 years after the events portrayed in the original film and follows a young Facebook engineer who enlists the help of a Wall Street Journal reporter to expose the platform's secrets.

The film stars Jeremy Strong as a much older Mark Zuckerberg (doing a memorable impression of the Meta CEO's voice), Mikey Madison as Facebook engineer and whistleblower Frances Haugen, and Jeremy Allen White as WSJ reporter Jeff Horw …

Meta has to open up WhatsApp to third-party AI chatbots again, the European Commission says.

Meta has been ordered by the European Commission to restore free WhatsApp access for chatbots made by rival AI providers while the regulator finishes its antitrust investigation. The rare interim measure announced on Tuesday was deemed necessary "to prevent serious and irreparable damage to competition" in the general-purpose AI assistant market.

This is only the second time that the EU has used the emergency power in more than 20 years, Politico reports. It follows the launch of a formal investigation in December 2025 into whether Meta was abusing its market dominance by banning third-party AI chatbots from its WhatsApp messaging platform. …

The 168-megawatt facility will support Meta's global AI computing needs and can be expanded over time.

One day after WIRED revealed that Meta had quietly embedded an unreleased face-recognition system into an app installed on more than 50 million phones, the company removed it, according to a WIRED analysis of the latest version’s code.

The most recent version of Meta AI, a companion app for its line of smart glasses, strips out the unactivated software components that powered the system Meta internally called NameTag. The version published the day of WIRED’s report included several code libraries explicitly named for face recognition. Friday’s release includes none of them.

Andy Stone, Meta's vice president of communications, told WIRED on Monday that the feature is purely exploratory, adding: “No final decision has been made on what to do here, if anything.”

The 'disappearing into the bushes like Homer Simpson' strategy is a bold choice.

Meta Platforms is reportedly exploring a potential equity raise worth tens of billions of dollars, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg hunts for fresh capital to fund sweeping AI aspirations.

Financial Times (FT) reported the social media giant’s executives are exploring creative ways to boost funds for AI-related capital expenditure.

The publication stated CFO Susan Li is leading the discussions alongside Dina Powell McCormick, who moved from Meta’s board in January to take on the newly created role of president, with a specific focus on AI infrastructure financing and longer-term planning.

In its Q1 earnings report released in April, Meta raised its 2026 capex guidance range from $115 billion-$135 billion to $125 billion-$145 billion.

Zuckerberg is focused on developing so-called superintelligence which he believes will help humanity accelerate its rate of progress.

A person familiar with the discussions told FT it is premature to say if Meta has decided anything, but all financing options are still on the table.

A representative for Meta told Mobile World Live FT’s reporting “is pure speculation”.

“We’ve been clear that huge opportunities lie ahead in AI, and we’ll continue focusing on raising capital in the most flexible ways to support that.”

The potential offering comes as the US equity markets are experiencing a historic surge of activity. Elon Musk’s SpaceX plans to raise as much as $86 billion in an IPO next week, while Anthropic confidentially filed for a listing and OpenAI is also preparing to go public.

Meta Platforms unveiled an AI agent designed to help businesses carry out day-to-day tasks, as the social media giant looks to raise competition in the enterprise arena.

Meta Business Agent is an AI-powered tool designed to let any business, from a one-person shop to a global enterprise, respond to customers around the clock without missing a beat.

It also positions the company to better rival OpenAI, Anthropic and Google in the enterprise AI market.

More than a million businesses are already using some version of the agent on WhatsApp and Messenger, but yesterday (3 June) Meta started offering it globally to businesses of all sizes.

Meta explained Business Agent can be setup up in minutes or plugged directly into an existing enterprise infrastructure.

The agent can handle conversations in business customers’ local languages and tone from the first day.

It can answer business-specific questions, recommend products from a catalogue, book appointments, qualify leads, and even close sales. When a situation calls for a human touch, users can decide exactly when a team member needs to step in.

The expansion to Instagram is also live and getting started is free. Meta stated paid subscription tiers are coming in the months ahead, with options built to fit businesses of every size.

Meta is positioning the agent as more than just a chatbot. The agent doubles as a daily partner, capable of delivering morning briefings which catch businesses up on overnight conversations while surfacing insights from customer threads.

It is rolling out the agent to a select group of businesses on WhatsApp Business, Instagram Pro, Messenger, and Meta Business Suite, with a waitlist open for others.

For businesses that want deeper customisation, Meta is also launching the Business Agent Platform, an enterprise-grade infrastructure layer which connects to hundreds of third-party systems including Shopify, Zendesk and Shopee, giving the agent the ability to take real action on a business’ behalf.

The social media giant is also making it easier for people to discover businesses powered by a Meta Business Agent directly on WhatsApp.

Soon, people on WhatsApp will be able to find businesses by searching a name or sharing a contact card in a chat, which means every new customer who reaches out gets a helpful response from the start.
