Overview
- The app began rolling out to U.S. users Thursday and presents a vertical feed where short interactive creations called gizmos are played, saved, reposted, and remixed.
- Pocket uses Meta Superintelligence Labs’ Muse Spark model to generate gizmos from natural‑language prompts and lets creators tweak visuals, add music, and draw on phone sensors and camera input.
- Meta hired the team behind Gizmo and licensed its technology earlier this year, and Atma Sciences has announced it is shutting down the original Gizmo app as its people and code move into Pocket.
- Reports disagree on whether Pocket is available on both iOS and Android in the U.S., and independent researchers have warned that AI‑produced vibe‑coded apps can introduce more software vulnerabilities than hand‑written code.
- Pocket is part of Meta’s fast‑launch strategy of standalone AI apps and could create new creator tools or ad surfaces if the company chooses to monetize gizmos and their remix culture.
