Meta brings its Muse AI agent to Apple Watch, MacRumors reports

The US App Store confirms a Muse companion app for Apple Watch, and Android Authority says Muse now reaches Wear OS too, as a remote for an agent that runs on the phone.

Meta's Muse AI agent is now also available on Wear OS smartwatches, Android Authority reported on Nov. 11. The outlet says the Wear OS app works as a remote: it lets you interact with the agent or approve tasks, but "it still requires a phone to run the agent." We did not find a Meta newsroom post or help page announcing Wear OS, so treat the launch as reported, not confirmed by the company.

Meta had already added an Apple Watch companion app to Muse, its personal AI agent, through an iOS app update, MacRumors reported on Nov. 9. According to the report, watch owners can send text, dictate a message or call Muse from their wrist. The US App Store release notes independently confirm the companion app in version 15.0.

Whether Muse works on the watch when an iPhone is elsewhere remains unclear. Neither the report nor the US App Store listing establishes standalone operation or cellular requirements.

What Muse does on Apple Watch

MacRumors says the app brings the Muse character to the watch and includes a complication for quick access. Its description lists dictating text and calling the agent as separate options.

The calling feature described in the report is a call to Muse. There is no verified indication here that the watch app can place ordinary telephone calls to other people. The report also does not establish which of the agent's broader capabilities are available through this interface, including its connections to other services or how approvals appear on the watch.

Muse can take actions on a user's behalf. In its original announcement, Meta said the agent checks with the user before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase. That is the company's description of Muse generally; the watch update does not document a separate approval process.

Requirements, price and availability

The US App Store listing names Meta Platforms, Inc. as the seller and includes Apple Watch among the supported platforms. It lists watchOS 9.0 or later for the watch app and iOS 18.0 or later for the iPhone app. A verified model-by-model watch compatibility list was not available in the sources reviewed.

Muse is a free download with in-app purchases in the US listing. Meta describes the service as free for most needs, with subscription plans for additional usage. Neither statement establishes unlimited watch use, and watch-specific calling limits or paid-plan requirements remain unverified.

Meta launched Muse in the US in September and announced its arrival in Singapore on Oct. 27. The Singapore announcement covers the general service on iOS, Android and the web. It does not establish availability of the new watch app there. The US store listing confirms a US storefront presence, but the complete watch rollout by country remains unknown.

According to Android Authority, Muse on Wear OS acts as a control hub for tasks that run on the phone. The outlet says users should be able to approve tasks or view an update on one that is already running, and that the Muse mascot takes up most of the watch screen. It also says Meta's Muse account on X posted that Muse can "work around the clock" from the wrist. We did not read that post.

Wear OS version requirements, supported watch models, countries and price are not stated in the sources we found. Android Authority says Meta has not clarified whether payments can be made from the watch or must be confirmed on the phone. The phone requirement it describes applies to Wear OS. It does not settle how the Apple Watch app behaves, which remains unverified.

The glasses rollout has its own timetable

Meta separately announced plans to bring Muse to its AI glasses at Connect. Our guide to Muse on Ray-Ban Meta glasses covers that integration and its reported timetable. The Apple Watch release does not establish that the promised glasses rollout has happened.

Installation and sign-in details, along with language support, also remain unclear. The App Store description also cautions that Muse can be inaccurate or take unexpected actions, so users should check its work and intervene when needed.
