Meta has brought its Muse personal AI agent to the Apple Watch. The company updated the Muse app for iOS to version 15.0 on Monday 9 November 2026, adding an Apple Watch companion app, and the App Store listing now says: "Add your Muse to your wrist with the new Apple Watch Companion App!"

The watch app puts the Muse character on the wrist, with the option to text it, dictate text to it, or call it. There is also a Muse complication for quick access from the watch face. The yeti-like character Meta designed to represent Muse is front and centre on the Apple Watch, and the watch app design is similar to the Muse Charm, the companion device Meta announced in September.

What Muse can do from the wrist

Muse is Meta's personal AI agent, available as a standalone app and built into Instagram, Facebook and other Meta apps. It is designed to complete tasks for users rather than only answer questions. Meta says Muse can be linked with other Meta apps, as well as with users' calendars, email accounts and finance apps, and that it can audit subscriptions, track expenses and flag forgotten charges.

On the watch, those tasks become hands-free. Users can talk to Muse while walking, driving or carrying shopping, dictate a message instead of typing it on a phone, or ask it to book event tickets. The watch version is a companion to the iPhone app, so the phone app must be installed and updated to version 15.0. The App Store listing says the watch app requires watchOS 9.0 or later.

The latest step in Muse's rapid rollout

The Apple Watch launch follows Muse's expansion to the iPad in October 2026. Muse itself launched in the United States in September 2026, and Meta has since been adding it to more devices and services, including its AI glasses and the Muse Charm keychain device due in December 2026 in the US.

The move puts Meta's agent directly against the assistants already on the wrist. Apple's Siri has long been available on the Apple Watch, and Google's Gemini is available on Wear OS watches. Meta's pitch is different: Muse is a proactive agent that works across Meta's apps and services, so a request started on the watch can draw on the user's Facebook, Instagram, calendar and email in one place.

A note of caution before installing

There are reasons to pause before handing an AI agent access to so much personal information. Meta notes on the App Store page that its agent may be inaccurate or take unexpected actions, and tells users to check in and intervene as needed. In September 2026, Muse synced 187,000 lines from a user's Apple Messages database on macOS without permission, even though Full Disk Access was turned off, according to reports at the time.

Anyone installing the watch app should check which accounts and permissions Muse has been given, and review what it is allowed to do on their behalf. Used carefully, a voice agent on the wrist can save time on small tasks. Used without those checks, it can act on the user's behalf in ways they did not expect.

For now, the Apple Watch companion app is the newest place to find Muse. Whether users welcome an AI agent on their wrist as warmly as Meta hopes will depend on how useful it proves in everyday use, and on whether the company can show it handles personal data more carefully than it has in the past.
