Meta quietly launched an ‘AI pet journal’ app

Meta has launched a "tamagotchi-style" pet game called Waddle World, with virtual creatures that chat with users and create doodles to illustrate conversations. According to its Apple and Play Store listings, the "16-bit pet care game" is not really a game, but "a daily journal disguised as a pet." Users should talk, not type, with their pets, the description says, as well as play "cozy games" like stacking groceries or word games. The Play store description says: A little friend that listens.
