Meta Platforms will close its augmented reality studio, Meta Spark, which enabled third-party creators to develop custom effects for Instagram and Facebook, effective January 14. This shift is part of the company's strategy to focus on AI and metaverse investments. Creators have expressed disappointment and are seeking alternative platforms as their AR effects and files will no longer be accessible, though first-party effects remain available.
