Meta has quietly released Style Sketch in three Southeast Asian countries and listed Waddle World in the Philippines, with wider launches unconfirmed.

Meta has quietly released two consumer AI apps without confirming a broader rollout. Style Sketch, on iOS and Android in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, suggests outfits from clothes users already own, builds a virtual closet from Instagram photos or uploads, and offers virtual try-ons and trip plans. Waddle World, listed as a free adults-only app in the Philippines, is a 16-bit daily journal framed as a talking virtual pet that draws doodles and includes small games. Consultant Matt Navarra first flagged the apps. Meta did not answer TechCrunch, and The Verge could not confirm whether either app will reach the United States.

Key facts
  • Style Sketch is on iOS and Android in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
  • It builds a closet from Instagram photos, uploads, video or the camera roll.
  • Outfit plans use destination, trip length, activities, weather or one item.
  • Waddle World is free, adults-only and listed in the Philippines.
  • Users are told to talk rather than type and can play cozy games.
  • A wider launch remains unknown after Meta did not comment.
