Muse launches on the iPad

Meta's AI agent, Muse, has been released as a native iPad app, despite warnings about its data-hungry capabilities. Muse permits users to restrict its access to private information, but it will still collect data behind the scenes. Users can download Muse on iPad, but only in the United States.

The app has garnered attention for its ability to access and reschedule meetings through users' contacts and messages, raising concerns about privacy. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has faced multiple privacy scandals, including the Cambridge Analytica data breach that exposed the personal information of 87 million users.

Despite these issues, Meta continues to develop products like the controversial Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Users must bear the responsibility of fixing any errors, as Muse's performance is not guaranteed.
