Meta's AI now brings you real-time news on your favorite apps

Technology Dec 06, 2025

Meta just gave its AI assistant a big upgrade—you'll now get breaking news and lifestyle stories right inside Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The AI pulls updates from major outlets like CNN, Fox News, and USA Today, serving up quick article summaries with links if you want to dive deeper.
So, staying in the loop just got way easier.

Why Meta is doing this (and what's changing)

This move is part of Meta's push to stand out as tech giants race to add live news features to their AIs—think OpenAI and Google teaming up with media brands.
But it's not all smooth sailing: some publishers are suing AI companies for using their content without permission.
Meanwhile, Meta is shifting away from old-school news tabs and betting big on AI-powered content instead.
