Meta Launches AI Gaming App Pocket Quietly

Meta has quietly launched a new app called Pocket, a creative platform that lets users generate small interactive apps and games using AI prompts. Built from Meta's acquisition of vibe-coded gaming platform Gizmo, the app includes a scrollable discovery feed of user-created experiences called gizmos. First spotted by reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, Pocket officially launched on June 29, 2026 on both the App Store and Google Play. Meta has not officially announced the app, suggesting it remains in an early experimentation phase. Gizmo, its predecessor, had accumulated 635,000 lifetime installs with 98% positive sentiment.
