Meta has quietly released Waddle World, an app combining a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet with AI, on iOS and Android in the Philippines, as spotted by social media consultant Matt Navarra. The app lets users hatch and care for a pixel pet, journal their day via text or voice, play short mini-games, and receive weekly AI-generated summaries, with Meta explicitly stating it is not a chatbot or productivity tool and restricting it to users 18 and older.
