Apple Intelligence Feature Not Available in Meta Apps Like Facebook, Instagram

Been rid of Fb and IG since October and haven't missed them a bit. Screw Zuckerberg.
Good for Apple! The responsible future of AI is on-device local processing, or nothing but more commercial surveillance and abuse of people's information vacuumed up into the Silicon Valley cyberlib Borg.
I wonder why Meta AI is not part of Facebook itself. It is found on Instagram.
More worrying is that Apple Intelligence is not available on Apple devices!. Mayority of Apple devices are not allowed to have it and even on the few recent devices that "support it", is just a joke to call it "intelligence", is more like "challenged".
Makes sense. Meta hasn't been a trustworthy company. They've violated privacy numerous times and have been fined $5B before. After which they continued to do the same thing. When Apple required apps to ask permissions from users to use their private data, Meta took out a full page ad on newspaper to falsely accuse Apple of abuse.
If I was in Apple's position, I wouldn't let them anywhere near my precious technology.

I stopped using FB in 17, and do not use any other meta apps, meta can't be trusted with information.
Since day one, all the social media programs/platforms have WANTED access to all of my contacts. That was the data they admitted they wanted access to swallow up and sell. I never signed up for any of them.
I have the same thoughts about AI.
Remember, backups are optional now as NSA has a copy of everything😇

I'm willing to bet this has nothing to do with any Apple decision, and more to do with Meta using custom text input fields that don't support Apple's writing tools.
I use it several times a day, it is a great tool for emails or reviewing contracts.
Kinda silly. One can just type what they want in notes, copy->paste into meta app.
Apple pulls Facebook from the App Store for random arbitrary rule violation 3…2…1
Not surprised. Meta will want the users to use its AI only within its app. Will be nice if Apple Intelligence is allowed within these apps in the future.

They all do.It is hard work getting anything decent and truthy out of those systems if you don't already know the answer or are trained to question what is coming back. Even when feeding document it is highly likely it makes stuff up that isn't even in the document.
AI systems are like the super smart apprentice that has a lot of potential, but sometimes get lazy and don't check what they've googled, often misses the context and finer details due to lack of experience, and clearly need explaining everything. If you do treat them like that, they have the potential to be useful, but if you aren't experienced yourselves in the topic, you don't know when and how to challenge.
I think this is very location dependent. In the US, I find Apple Maps to be just as good as Google Maps without the massive privacy invasion, so I’d say it’s significantly better than Google Maps. I understand that is different in other parts of the world.
It’s Ben more than a debate later and they just couldn’t catch up. It’s not like the roads change every day. They want to catch up by working less and investing less, give me a break.
Again, I find Apple Maps is better where I live.
So you say “Apple can’t catch up” and I’d say “Google had a massive head start and still can’t beat Apple”
For all intents and purposes they’re the same, but one uses your location data to serve you ads. Which means it’s actually significantly worse for you.
I agree, in the UK Apple Maps is much better than Google to me. The way it is presented, the data that creates them. The kind of notifications that you'd normally need Waze for. Where google has its advantage is search data for when you don't know the address.Again, I find Apple Maps is better where I live.

On mainland Europe, I actually prefer Here! and Sygic navigation. Also, nice that those are non US companies. All part of the drive to move away from such services and gaining traction rapidly. They have absolutely tremendous mapping data (Sygic uses TomTom).

lol - We have so many threads on the forum .... and yet, ultimately, we really only have one big thread over and over again
🤣
It's all basically one big "Siri sucks, AVP is divisive, Small iPhones never coming back, Tim Cook, EU, Google & FB = Bad" thread/argument on repeat...
It was just an example of poor leadership by apple. Apple Maps, Siri, Vision Pro, Apple Watch, iOS, iPhone. Apple is losing in everything they do. They are not state of the art anymore, they got too big, too slow.@surferfb, @cyb3rdud3 & @iPhoneFan5349
