Meta has launched a new app called “Pocket,” which lets users vibe code games and experiences.

It also has a social feed where users can explore games built by others.

Games and experiences in Pocket react to touch and can also access users’ camera and camera roll.

Now, Meta is joining the vibe coding bandwagon with a fresh new app for vibe coding games.

The company’s latest app is called Pocket , and it’s aimed at people who have fun, creative ideas for games and experiences but don’t have the programming chops to put them together.

TL;DR

After recently recommending OPPO phones to customers in Europe, OnePlus appears to be scaling back operations in other markets.

All devices, including the latest OnePlus 15 and 15R, are listed as out of stock on the official OnePlus UK store.

Stock appears to be dwindling in the US, too, leaving potential buyers with limited options.

A OnePlus reorganization, as well as a potential reunification with OPPO , has been rumored for several months now. Fueling these rumors is the fact that OnePlus has been slowly winding down operations in certain European markets ; it recently even started directing potential customers to buy OPPO phones instead of OnePlus in the EU. Now, certain markets outside the trade region also appear to be witnessing a similar disinterest from the brand.

We recently noticed the receding product lineup at OnePlus’s store in the UK . While it lists recent models, including the OnePlus 15, OnePlus 15R, and even the older OnePlus 13, all devices are currently out of stock.
