Meta Launches New AI Search Mode and Photo Editing Tools on Facebook

Meta said users can ask questions in plain language and get answers synthesized from public posts, while new editing and profile tools expand Facebook’s AI features.

  • On Monday, Meta launched "AI Mode" on Facebook, a search feature using Meta AI to surface conversational answers from public posts rather than standard search links, alongside new photo and video editing tools.
  • The update expands Meta's broader strategy to embed artificial intelligence into platforms, following last month's release of Forum, a Reddit-like app featuring an "Ask" tab that mines Facebook Groups for user-generated discussions.
  • Beyond search, Facebook added AI-powered photo presets allowing sports fans to virtually wear team jerseys by tapping the "AI Edit" icon in Stories, plus new collage templates and transition effects for video montages.
  • Critics raise concerns about reliability of answers sourced from public Facebook Groups, noting the system extracts value from user posts without clear attribution or compensation to original creators.
  • Meta continues aggressive restructuring to fund its $65 billion AI infrastructure investment, with plans to introduce additional AI-specific subscription tiers later this year to drive adoption across platforms.
