Meta has recently launched an app named Pocket, aimed at enabling users to create their own minigames using a method referred to as vibe-coding. This app was first identified by mobile developer and reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi, who shared the discovery on X. According to reports from AppFigures, Pocket has been available on both iOS and Android platforms since June 29, 2026.
Despite its public listing, Pocket is currently not accessible in the United States on several phone models linked to Google accounts. A help page on Meta’s website indicates that “the Pocket app is not yet available everywhere,” suggesting a limited rollout. As of now, Meta has not issued any formal announcement regarding the app’s launch or the specific regions where it is being tested.
Features and Functionality
Pocket positions itself as a creative platform for users to make and share what it describes as gizmos. The app’s listing emphasizes its focus on generative AI, allowing users to engage in a creative process that leverages AI technology. This aligns with Meta’s broader strategy of integrating artificial intelligence into its services, which has been a significant focus over the past year.
Background and Development
TechCrunch has speculated that the development of Pocket may be linked to Meta’s acquisition of the team behind Gizmo, an earlier app that utilized AI to generate interactive experiences based on user prompts. The nomenclature used in Pocket’s app description mirrors that of Gizmo, further supporting this connection. The Play Store shortcode associated with Pocket, com.facebook.gizmo, reinforces the idea that Pocket may be an evolution of the previous project.
Availability and Future Updates
As of now, the app’s availability remains limited, and there are no confirmed details on when it will be accessible in more regions, including the United States. Meta has been contacted for further information, and updates will be provided if a response is received.
