Create, Share, and Play in the Meta AI App with Vibes

Meta AI app has launched across Europe, and has now introduced Vibes – a brand-new feed for creating, remixing, and sharing short-form, AI-generated videos.

Vibes puts creative media sharing and AI-powered features at the heart of the Meta AI experience, marking a significant step forward in their mission to empower self-expression and fun for even more people.

Putting media generation at the heart of the experience, you can create your own videos using imaginative prompts, or remix what’s already been shared. There are options to add new visuals, layer in music, or adjust styles to match your individual taste.

This is an inherently social and collaborative creation experience, where you’re encouraged to remix, co-create, and build stories together with friends. Videos and content can be shared and posted directly to the Vibes feed, sent to friends, or cross-posted to Instagram and Facebook Stories and Reels.

Key highlights of today’s launch:

  • Vibes Feed: Create, remix, and share short-form, AI-generated videos. Explore a dedicated feed that becomes more personalized to your interests over time.

  • Collaborative Creation: Remix and co-create with friends, share content directly to the Vibes feed, or cross-post to Instagram and Facebook Stories and Reels.

  • Powerful AI Tools: Building on Meta AI’s availability across the apps you already know and love: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp – you can now naturally with your Meta AI assistant to generate and animate images, and edit photos with advanced AI-powered tools – all in one place.

Since launching in the US, Vibes has inspired over 20 billion images made with our AI tools, and media generation in the app has jumped more than tenfold and are now excited to bring this creative energy to Europe.

Ray-Ban and Facebook Launch ‘Ray-Ban Stories’ Smart Glasses

Ray-Ban and Facebook launched the first pair of smart glasses that combine style and everyday wearability to help you stay present with friends, family, and the world around you. Ray-Ban Stories let you capture, share, and listen in a whole new way, so you can keep your eyes up and stay present in the moment. Ireland is one the initial launch countries. Starting at €329, you can choose from 20 combinations of frame/lens styles from the most iconic frames Ray-Ban offers: Wayfarer, Round or Meteor Ray-Ban. A rather unusual partnership that has turned eyes and then there is the data problem.

 

  • Convenient Camera Capture: Instant photo and video (up to 30 seconds) lets you capture spontaneous moments using the dual 5MP cameras on the front of the frames. A capture LED lights up when the cameras are on to notify those around you that photography or recording is taking place. Go hands-free for more convenient capture with Facebook Assistant and the “Hey Facebook” wake word. Simply say, “Hey Facebook, take a photo [or video]” and Ray-Ban Stories will do the rest.
  • Stylish Design: Choose the frames that fit your style and needs. Ray-Ban Stories comes in three styles: Wayfarer (also available in size Wayfarer L), Round and Meteor, and is offered in five colors and more lens choices, for 20 possible variations.
  • Built-In Audio: Built-in Bluetooth and a 3-microphone audio array allow you to listen to your favourite media, music, or podcast from any app on your phone and take calls – all from the glasses.
  • Facebook View App: Edit and enhance the everyday memories captured on Ray-Ban Stories using the Facebook View companion app (iOS and Android) and share them with family and friends, or across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, or any other app of your choice.

Ray-Ban Stories was designed with privacy in mind. We’re taking steps to make sure device owners–and the people around them–feel comfortable, safe, and informed. More information on these efforts, from specific product features to tips for device wearers, can be found in our dedicated microsite.
