Meta has quietly removed several Apple Intelligence features from its iOS apps, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads. This includes tools like Writing Tools, which allow users to write, edit, and proofread text with AI assistance, and Genmoji, the AI-generated custom emoji feature. Additionally, Meta has removed the ability to add keyboard stickers and Memoji to Instagram Stories, a feature that was previously available.
Apple Intelligence is typically integrated into most apps, but developers can choose to disable it. Meta appears to have opted out, likely to push users toward its own AI platform, Meta AI, which offers similar features like text editing and image generation. While there is no official explanation from Meta, the decision comes amid ongoing tensions between the tech giants, with past disputes over App Store policies and privacy concerns.
