Meta's Muse iPad App: Why You Shouldn't Use It

Meta's Muse is now available for the iPad, as well as the Mac and the iPhone. Don't use it.

Muse, the AI agent from Facebook parent company Meta, is now available as a native iPad app and unfortunately, some people are going to download it. If you need to read any further than the words Meta or Facebook, this is the situation: Meta Muse is an AI agent you can tell not to read your private information, but of course it will anyway.

On macOS, this is why Apple is changing how users can allow apps to access everything on the Mac. Amazon has blocked Muse from buying anything on its platform. Now it's on the iPad, although so far only in the US. It's the same with the iPhone version, which has already gathered 173,000 ratings. Those ratings average out at 4.9 stars.

Meta profits heavily from what it learns about you, which is why it can be free. Through your contacts and messages, it is harvesting data about everyone you ever deal with. Ask them if their privacy is worth your being able to have Muse automatically reschedule a meeting for you.
