In 2025, Mozilla shut down its 'Read It Later' service, Pocket , but Meta, the company behind Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms, released a completely different AI social feed app called Pocket.
Meta's Pocket app is already available on Google Play, but it's not available for download at the time of writing.

According to Meta, Pocket is an app that lets you create, share, and discover interactive experiences called 'Gizmos' with your friends. Gizmos are AI-generated interactive experiences that allow you to interact with Gizmos created by other users or create your own using text prompts.
The actual gizmo creation screen is shown below, and you can adjust the colors and other settings manually, in addition to using text prompts.
Pocket allows you to directly interact with gizmos within the feed. To begin interacting with them, you need to either follow the instructions displayed on the gizmo itself or tap it. There are several ways to play with gizmos depending on the type of activity, and specific examples were given below.
Tap, swipe, or drag items on the screen.
- You can control the movement within the device by tilting or shaking the mobile device.
- Listen to music or sound effects while playing.
- When using the camera (if you have allowed Pocket to access your camera), you can save photos taken with some devices to your smartphone.
- You can speak using the microphone (if you have granted Pocket access to your microphone).
Examples of gizmos range from abstract art-like creations to mini-games.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been a strong supporter of AI as a new social media platform, and has previously spoken of a vision where users use AI to create and share interactive experiences. The Verge, a technology media outlet, points out that Pocket is a realization of this idea from Zuckerberg.
According to reports from March 2026, Meta not only hired engineers from Atma Sciences, the company that developed the app called ' Gizmo, ' but also obtained a non-exclusive license to use Atma Sciences' technology. The Verge pointed out that 'Pocket is very similar to Gizmo.'
Furthermore, interactions with Gizmo on Pocket will be used to improve Meta's AI . To use Pocket, you will need to log in with an existing Meta account or create a new one .
