Meta AI has officially launched in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), bringing advanced AI-powered assistance in Arabic to millions of users. Now accessible on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, this expansion enables users across Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen to engage with AI-driven tools for text generation, image creation, and animation—all for free and seamlessly integrated into their favorite apps.
AI-Powered Assistance for Everyday Tasks
Designed to be intuitive and easy to use, Meta AI does not require downloads or additional sign-ups. Users can access its features instantly through its signature blue circle icon. Whether planning a trip, brainstorming ideas, or solving everyday challenges, Meta AI offers real-time suggestions and assistance to enhance user experience and productivity.
Built on Meta’s powerful Llama 3.2 language model, Meta AI enhances group conversations by allowing users to tag @Meta AI for instant insights and recommendations. For example, while planning a summer getaway, users can receive tailored suggestions for top destinations in the UAE or Saudi Arabia without leaving their chat. This real-time assistance transforms how people collaborate and make decisions, making AI an essential digital companion.
Seamless Accessibility and Device Compatibility
Unlike other AI tools that require subscriptions or specific devices, Meta AI is completely free and works across all devices running the latest versions of Meta’s apps. Whether users have the latest smartphone or an older device, they can access AI-powered assistance without limitations. This inclusivity ensures that a broader audience can leverage AI’s capabilities for both personal and professional tasks.
Advanced AI Features Coming Soon
Meta AI’s capabilities will continue expanding with new multimodal tools designed to enhance creativity and engagement. Among the upcoming features is simultaneous dubbing for Reels, allowing users to generate real-time translations for video content. AI-driven image editing will enable users to modify images seamlessly, while Imagine Me will allow users to generate personalized AI portraits using their own photos and prompts.
For instance, users can upload a cityscape photo and ask Meta AI to reimagine it in a futuristic setting or visualize themselves with a new hairstyle or fashion trend. These cutting-edge innovations bring a new level of personalization and creativity, making AI a powerful tool for artistic expression.
Celebrating the Launch with ‘Elevating Every Moment’
To mark this expansion, Meta has introduced ‘Elevating Every Moment’, a campaign featuring collaborations with top regional creators, including Yara Boumonsef, Amro Maskoun, Raghad Zamel, Faisal Al Saif, and Abdullah Al Sabe. This content series will showcase AI’s full potential, providing users with practical tips, creative inspiration, and real-world applications of Meta AI. Additionally, Meta Arabia’s Facebook page will host an educational series to help users craft better prompts and maximize AI’s capabilities.
The Future of AI in the MENA Region
Meta AI’s explosive global adoption is already evident, with nearly 700 million monthly active users across 42 countries and 13 languages. By the end of the year, Meta AI is projected to become the world’s most widely used AI assistant, leading the charge in AI innovation, digital transformation, and smart communication.
As access to AI-powered tools continues to expand, users in the Middle East will experience firsthand how intelligent, context-aware AI can enhance everyday interactions, fuel creativity, and redefine how people communicate in the digital era.
With Meta AI now fully available in Arabic, the MENA region stands at the forefront of a new AI revolution, where technology seamlessly integrates into daily life, transforming the way people connect, create, and collaborate.
