Meta is preparing to expand the availability of its smart assistant, Meta Al, to 21 countries around the world, including Arab countries from the Middle East and North Africa. In the coming weeks, the Meta smart assistant will arrive in a range of countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, according to an official statement.
In preparation for the move, MetaAl will support work in new languages including Arabic, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Thai, and a newly Meta assistant has arrived in Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala, Paraguay, the Philippines and Britain.
Meta launched its smart assistant last year to allow its users to obtain information, search, create and edit images, create and edit texts within posts and comments on Facebook and Instagram, as well as help exchange text messages and photos within WhatsApp and Messenger. Meta Al is also available as a standalone website.
In September, Meta supported its assistant with advanced capabilities, as he is now working with the new Meta AI model family LlaMa 3.2, equipped with pioneering capabilities to understand various forms of content, so he is able to interact voicefully with the user, Google's Legari Gemini Live, and the Advanced Voice Mode feature from ChatGPT, in addition to the features of understanding and analyzing images and what he sees directly through the user's phone camera.
Meta also provided its smart assistant with the ability to better understand the parts and details of the images, if there is a picture of a person fully dressed, the Meta assistant will understand all the pieces that the person is wearing in the photo, which helps the user to edit the image through commands such as: "Make the person's shirt in the photo red."
This tool will greatly help users in editing photos they take themselves or upload from the Internet, which opens a wide field for creativity and innovation in adding a distinctive smart personal touch to personal photos, or creating creative content easily.
Earlier this month, Meta unveiled a set of new features for Facebook and Messenger that will enhance users' engagement with their community in their geographic range. Some of these new features are still in the process of experimenting, as the American giant is testing them at the level of a limited category of users within the United States of America.
Among the most prominent of these features is a new experimental tab within Facebook called Local, which allows collecting diverse content from around the social network, from within chat groups, events, as well as the Facebook Marketplace, so that this content comes from local sources next to the user's area of residence.
