Meta Puts Muse AI on Apple Watch and Wear OS After 10M Downloads
TL;DR
- Meta launched Muse on Apple Watch and Wear OS on November 9, with voice calls, text, and dictation as the wrist input surfaces.
- Sensor Tower pegs Muse at 10 million U.S. downloads within 40 days of launch, a milestone only 11 other apps have hit; Threads was last in July 2023.
- Availability stays limited to the U.S., Canada, Japan and Singapore for users 18 and older; the promised Muse Charm keychain remains unpriced.
Meta rolled out its Muse AI agent to Apple Watch and Wear OS on November 9, letting users dictate, text, or voice-call the assistant from the wrist without reaching for a phone, TechCrunch reported. The Apple Watch app adds the fuzzy Muse character and a complication for one-tap access; Wear OS gets the same voice, text and dictation inputs. "Works around the clock, and now on your wrist," the Muse account posted on X the same day.
The watch build caps a run of near-weekly additions: an iPad app in October, video chat on November 5 with an avatar showing "subtle expressions and gestures," and a "Spaces" sidebar on November 6 that AI Weekly covered four days earlier. Per Sensor Tower, Muse hit 10 million U.S. App Store downloads within 40 days of launch, joining only 11 other apps in reaching this milestone; Meta's Threads was the last, in July 2023.
Availability stays limited to the U.S., Canada, Japan and Singapore, with an 18-plus requirement. The Muse Charm keychain Meta promised for the holiday season is still unpriced, and ByteDance is reportedly weeks away from its own Muse-style agent.
