What Is a Gizmo in Meta Pocket?
“Gizmo” is Pocket’s name for the small interactive AI-generated experiences users create and share.
A gizmo is Pocket’s name for a small interactive, AI-generated experience. It may be a game, but it can also be a quiz, camera toy, drawing surface or interactive meme.
What makes something a gizmo?
A gizmo is meant to be touched rather than merely watched. It can respond to tapping, dragging and device tilt; play sounds or music; and, with permission, use the camera or photos. That makes it closer to a tiny app-like post than a normal image or video.
Examples that fit the format
- A 30-second tilt maze with one collectible and a timer.
- A “which character are you?” quiz that reacts to answers.
- A camera effect that turns objects into paintbrushes.
- A one-button rhythm challenge built around a short sound loop.
The strongest ideas have one obvious interaction and an immediate payoff. A sprawling role-playing game with inventory, dialogue trees and several maps fights the format.
How gizmos spread
Published gizmos appear on profiles and in Pocket’s feed. Other users can save, repost and remix them. A remix should change a meaningful rule, theme or interaction—not merely replace a color—so people have a reason to play both versions.
Features, pricing and terms can change quickly. Recheck the linked sources and current official terms before making a commercial or platform decision.
