Meta Launches Muse For iPad And Introduces Paid Muse Wonder Model
Meta has expanded its viral personal AI agent Muse to Apple iPads, following weeks as the top free iPhone app in the United States. Launched on September 8, 2026, the application reached 5 million downloads in 22 days, prompting Wells Fargo to raise its price target for Meta stock to a bullish $1,000 per share.
