Muse voice conversations and Realtime Avatar
Muse app update adding live voice calls and animated, lip-synced avatars, rolling out in the US from November 5, 2026.
Overview
Meta began rolling out real-time voice conversations and expressive avatars in its Muse app on November 5, 2026, in the US on phones, web and Mac. Users start a call from the phone icon at the top right and pick voice only, an avatar beside the chat, or a full-screen avatar; the avatar, built on Muse Realtime Avatar, shows facial expressions and gestures matching the conversation and reacts while the user is still speaking. Users can interrupt Muse at any point, choose from hundreds of voices, and Muse can keep working on tasks in the background during the call. Meta says voice is coming to its AI glasses and the Muse Charm device without dates, and its claims of beating Runway and HeyGen avatars come from its own raters.
