Meta has expanded its Muse AI agent to the Apple Watch, allowing users to interact with the assistant directly from their wrists. The company released the new Apple Watch companion app on November 9 as part of Muse for iOS version 15.0, introducing voice conversations, text messaging, and dictation support. The update also brings Muse to Wear OS smartwatches.
The expansion follows Meta’s launch of Muse as a personal AI agent in September, when the company introduced an assistant capable of handling tasks across connected apps and services with user approval.
What Meta’s Muse Can Do on Apple Watch
Apple Watch app prominently features Muse’s animated, yeti-like character, which users can tap to start interacting with the assistant.

The companion app supports several features:
- Voice conversations: Call Muse and speak directly to the AI assistant.
- Text messaging: Type questions or instructions using the watch interface.
- Voice dictation: Dictate requests without opening the iPhone app.
- Watch face complication: Add a Muse shortcut for quicker access.
The interface resembles the Muse Charm, a dedicated companion device Meta previewed in September.
Muse Can Handle Tasks Through Connected Apps
Unlike traditional voice assistants, Muse can carry out multi-step tasks such as managing emails, organizing calendars, researching products, and making reservations.
According to Meta’s official announcement, Muse operates through a dedicated cloud-based environment called Muse Secure VM, which allows the agent to use connected services and continue certain tasks after users close the app.
Meta says users control which services Muse can access, while sensitive actions such as sending emails or making purchases require approval. However, users should review the permissions they grant, particularly when connecting personal or financial accounts.
The Apple Watch integration gives Muse another entry point alongside Apple’s own Siri AI experience in watchOS 27.
Availability and Apple Watch Requirements
Muse’s Apple Watch companion app requires watchOS 9.0 or later, while the associated iPhone app requires iOS 18.0 or newer.
The application is free to download, with optional paid subscriptions for additional capabilities. Availability varies by country, and Meta has not announced an official India launch date.
Meta has also confirmed Wear OS support, although compatibility details for individual Android smartwatches remain limited.
