Silicon Valley's headline feud just moved from boardrooms to every iPhone screen. As of mid-April, CNET reported that Apple Intelligence—Apple's AAPL new on-device AI suite—no longer works inside Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads or Messenger.
The silent change traced back to Meta Platforms META, which disabled Apple's application interfaces without fanfare.
Error messages appeared first, as iPhone owners tried to launch Apple's Writing Tools or Genmoji inside Meta's apps. PCMag reported that the features still load in Safari, signaling a targeted block rather than a system outage.
Meta's own numbers explain the timing. A Facebook post by Zuckerberg indicates capital spending could rocket to $65 billion in 2025 from $35 billion last year. Those dollars fund custom silicon and fresh server farms. One upcoming facility will draw two gigawatts of electricity—the output of twin nuclear reactors.
All that infrastructure feeds Meta AI, the assistant now woven through Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Shutting out Apple nudges millions toward Meta's own chatbot for caption rewrites and sticker generation.
