Layout is governed entirely by Meta's overall data practices with no separate agreement, and the finding is that distinction's absence: a user downloads what looks like a small standalone utility from the App Store and is actually extending their Meta relationship. Meta ships a family of small satellite apps this way. Cross-ref the Meta rows in Consumer Apps and the Meta AI row in LLM Providers for the October 2025 change routing AI chat content into ad targeting across the whole Meta estate with no US opt-out.
