Meta Rolls Out Muse Voice and Expressive Avatars in the US

Meta says it is rolling out voice and expressive avatars in the Muse app, starting in the United States. The November 5 Newsroom post (“Give Your Muse a Voice”) puts the feature on mobile, web, and Mac. Start a session by tapping the phone icon in the top-right corner.

What Meta says you get

• Real-time voice: speak with Muse the way you would with a person, hear responses right away, and interrupt if you need to. Meta brands the stack as Muse Realtime Voice and Muse Realtime Avatar.
• Expressive avatars: as Muse speaks, the avatar uses expressions and gestures that match the conversation, and reacts while you talk.
• Presence options: voice only, the avatar beside the conversation, or full screen for face-to-face talk.
• Voice styles: Meta says there are hundreds of voices to choose from, and you can change them whenever you want.

Use cases Meta calls out include brainstorming, trip planning, and rehearsing for an interview or pitch while Muse works in the background—on a walk or when your hands are full.

What’s next (Meta’s wording)

Voice and expressive avatars are “rolling out now in the Muse app in the US to start.” Meta adds that voice conversations with Muse are “coming soon to AI Glasses and Muse Charm.” The post does not give a date for those devices.

Meta previewed real-time Muse conversations at Connect 2026; this post is the consumer rollout note for the app.

Opinion: voice that keeps up when you interrupt is the useful part—avatar flair is optional chrome for people who want a face on the call.
