The rollout begins with Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. This expansion will include support for Tagalog, Meta said.

The next wave of countries—Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Thailand, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, and Yemen—will soon have access to Meta AI, with added language support for Arabic, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese.

The AI assistant is available on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger apps, and on the Meta.ai website.

“Bringing Meta AI to more of our users around the world is one of our top priorities, and I’m excited for our users in these new markets,” Ahmad said.
