Threads users can now chat with Meta AI in their DMs

Meta has announced the rollout of its Meta AI chatbot within Threads’ direct messages, enabling users to engage in private conversations with the AI assistant. While some markets previously allowed public interactions with Meta AI on the platform, this new update brings private messaging capabilities similar to those already present on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Users can now share Threads posts, images, links, and videos directly with Meta AI to ask follow-up questions and explore topics further. The global rollout aims to keep users within Meta's ecosystem and discourage the use of third-party alternatives like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, while testing in public feeds also continues.
