Meta would probably start a massive ad campain to pay people money to install Meta iPhone AI.
Meta already did that, right under Apple's nose for three years!

They wouldn’t even need to do that. It’s pretty easy to come up with any number of pernicious approaches they’d use:

- “instagram is better with MetaAi: yes/ask-me-later”.

- updated ToS which bundles a “we’ll use our own ai, and do whatever we waaaaant”

Lying, gaslighting and underhanded “growth hacking” tricks are their bread-and-butter, and you can be sure that whatever they’d have you install would blindly slurp up as much as they possibly can with zero regard for user privacy.
