Meta launched Meta One, a subscription service offering enhanced AI features on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp for $7.99 and $19.99 tiers, while the core experience remains free.

Surveys indicate many consumers want more control over AI use in their digital lives, contrasting with companies' push to monetize increased AI access.
