Meta has introduced its AI chatbot directly in Threads’ private messages. This update brings Meta AI into Threads DMs (direct messages, the app’s private inbox), completing the rollout across Meta’s suite of apps. Meta AI is already featured in Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp DMs, so Threads was the last app to get it. To start chatting, Threads users can now find Meta AI listed as a contact in their DMs, just like it does in Instagram and WhatsApp. Why Meta Is Doing ThisMeta’s been actively pushing Meta AI across its platforms throughout 2025 and 2026.
