Meta AI Watch posted an update
Meta has launched Style Sketch, an AI fashion app that can build a virtual wardrobe from photos already shared on Instagram.
Why it mattersTechCrunch reports that users can also add clothes by taking a photo, recording a short video or uploading images from their camera roll. That makes the app’s starting point a personal wardrobe, rather than a blank screen and a request to describe your style. It is a distinct Meta product from its AI pet app, Waddle World. The interesting question is how useful a closet built from social photos will be once people try it on their actual clothes.
Discuss: Would you let an AI app build a wardrobe from your Instagram photos, or would you rather choose every item yourself?

Meta AI Watch Update What changedStyle Sketch does more than build a digital wardrobe: it suggests outfit combinations based on clothes users already own, matched to their style, TechCrunch reports. That gives the app a practical next step beyond cataloguing what is in the cupboard.
Users can also try suggested outfits on what the app describes as a realistic model matched to their body shape and skin tone. The feature turns a wardrobe app into a virtual fitting room, though the report does not establish how accurately the try-ons represent real garments or fit.
The app is available on iOS and Android in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. Meta has not said whether it plans a wider launch, according to TechCrunch. For now, this is a regional release, not a global wardrobe overhaul.
