Muse waitlist: how to join, and what happens next

Quick answer

Yes, if you live outside the US and Canada. Sign in to Muse with your Meta account, and Meta shows “Join the waitlist for Muse”, with the message “Muse isn’t available in your country or region yet. We’ll let you know when it’s available to you.” Tap Join waitlist and the screen changes to “You’re on the waiting list”. Joining doesn’t give you access early, and Meta hasn’t announced dates for any new country. In the US and Canada there’s no waitlist: adults 18+ can use Muse straight away.

What joining does, and doesn’t do

  • It tells Meta you’re interested. Meta’s wording is a promise to notify you: “We’ll let you know when it’s available to you.” It doesn’t say how it will notify you.
  • It doesn’t unlock Muse early. Availability is decided by country. After joining, the screen still says Muse “isn’t available in your country or region yet.”
  • There’s no position or wait time. The screen shows neither, and Meta hasn’t announced dates for any new country. Country-by-country status.
  • Don’t use a VPN to get around it. Meta requires you to be located in a supported country. Why a VPN isn’t a good idea.

In the US and Canada: no waitlist

Per MetaAdults 18+ with a Meta account who are located in the US or Canada can use Muse right away, and there’s a free plan.2 ReportedBefore launch, Muse ran a short closed test that used a waitlist and invite codes.1 That ended when Muse launched on September 8, 2026.

  • Compare agents that work where you live. What to use outside the US and Canada.
  • Track launches. We check Muse’s App Store availability across dozens of countries and log every new one in our updates timeline.

Waitlist and code scams

  • Nothing moves you up the list. Anyone selling a “Muse waitlist code” or “skip the line” access is selling something that doesn’t exist.
  • Invite codes only add bonus tokens for people who already have Muse. Muse invite codes.
  • Only sign in at muse.ai or in the official app. Avoid fake login pages.
