Question 1

Are Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses waterproof?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses are not waterproof. They carry an IPX4 water-resistance rating, which means they are splash-resistant but cannot be submerged in water. The IPX4 protection is sufficient to handle light rain, sweat, or occasional splashes of water. Users should not wear the glasses swimming, in the shower, or let them sit under running water, as they are not designed to withstand being fully soaked. Users should dry the glasses off if they get wet and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Question 2

Can I add prescription lenses after I buy Ray-Ban Meta glasses?

Accepted Answer

Users can have prescription lenses installed in Ray-Ban Meta glasses after purchase, as the frames are designed to accommodate prescription lenses. Users can take the frames to an optician or eyewear store to get prescription lenses made and fitted. Installation is recommended through a Ray-Ban authorized retailer or an optometrist familiar with Ray-Ban frames. Many Ray-Ban dealers and stores like LensCrafters can order official Ray-Ban prescription lenses for the smart frames and install them, which helps ensure the best fit and keeps the warranty intact.

Question 3

Can I ask follow-up questions without saying Hey Meta again?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses support a short follow-up mode for voice interactions. After a user says Hey Meta and the assistant responds, the assistant remains active for a few seconds to listen for an additional question or command. Users can speak a follow-up question within the listening window without saying Hey Meta again. The follow-up listening mode times out after a few seconds if the user does not say anything further.

Question 4

Can I order prescription Ray-Ban Meta glasses on the Ray-Ban website?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban's website allows users to customize and order Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses with prescription lenses. Users selecting a frame style and color can choose Prescription lenses instead of the default non-prescription plano lenses. Users can enter prescription details including sphere, cylinder, axis, and PD, and select lens options like clear with anti-reflective coating, tinted sunglass lenses, or Transitions photochromic lenses. Ray-Ban manufactures the prescription lenses through its parent company Luxottica and installs them in the smart glasses frame before shipping.

Question 5

Can I pair two different pairs of Ray-Ban Meta glasses to one phone?

Accepted Answer

The Meta AI companion app allows users to manage up to two pairs of Ray-Ban smart glasses with the same phone and Meta account. Users can pair a second pair by going through the Add Device process in the app. Only one pair can be actively in use at any given time for features like audio streaming, voice assistant, or importing media. Users can switch between two paired glasses within the app by selecting which one to control or receive notifications from.

Question 6

Can I pick up Ray-Ban Meta glasses in a store?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban offers an in-store pickup option for Ray-Ban Meta glasses in some regions. Users can select Pick Up in Store at checkout on the Ray-Ban website if a nearby official Ray-Ban store has the glasses in stock. Users who purchase online for in-store pickup receive instructions to collect the glasses at the store once the order is prepared. Users can directly visit authorized retailers including Ray-Ban flagship stores, certain Sunglass Hut locations, and LensCrafters to purchase the glasses off the shelf if available.

Question 7

Can I replace the battery in Ray-Ban Meta glasses or the charging case?

Accepted Answer

The batteries in Ray-Ban Meta glasses and the charging case are built-in lithium-ion batteries that are not user-replaceable. Users should not attempt to open the glasses or the case to swap out the battery, as doing so will likely damage the device and void the warranty. Users experiencing battery problems need to contact Ray-Ban/Meta customer support for service options.

Question 8

Can I return Ray-Ban Meta glasses at Target Optical or Pearle Vision?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses purchased from Ray-Ban.com cannot be returned to Target Optical or Pearle Vision, as these retailers do not handle returns for purchases made through Ray-Ban's website. Target Optical and Pearle Vision are authorized retailers that may sell Ray-Ban products but are not owned by Ray-Ban/Luxottica's direct retail operations. Ray-Ban Meta glasses purchased at a Target Optical or Pearle Vision store originally would follow that specific store's return policy.

Question 9

Can Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses be cleaned under running water?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses should not be rinsed under running water or submerged despite having IPX4 water resistance for small splashes. Running water could force moisture into the electronic components and potentially damage the glasses. Users should clean the glasses with a soft cloth dampened slightly with water or a mild soap solution to gently wipe the lenses and frames. After cleaning, glasses should be dried thoroughly with a microfiber cloth. Users should avoid using strong chemical cleaners, alcohol-based solvents, abrasive materials, or paper towels.

Question 10

Can Ray-Ban Meta glasses identify a song playing nearby?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses integrate with the Shazam service to identify music playing in the surroundings. Users may need to connect or enable Shazam under Connected Apps in the Meta app. Users can ask Hey Meta, what song is this? or Hey Meta, Shazam this song, and the glasses' microphones listen to the music for a few seconds to recognize the track. If successful, the glasses announce the song title and artist name through the speakers.

Question 11

Can Ray-Ban Meta glasses read incoming Messenger messages out loud?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses can announce and read out incoming messages when the Announce Messages and Read Out Messages features are enabled in the Meta app under Calling & Messaging settings. When a new Messenger message arrives with these features enabled, the glasses play a notification tone, announce New message from [Contact Name], and speak the content of the message through the built-in speakers.

Question 12

Can Ray-Ban Meta glasses reply to Messenger messages by voice?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses can reply to incoming messages hands-free after the glasses announce a new message. Users say Hey Meta, reply, which triggers the assistant to listen for a reply message. The glasses transcribe the spoken reply and send it as a message back to the sender via Messenger. The voice reply command must be given fairly soon after the message arrives, typically within about 1 minute, before the context window closes.

Question 13

Can Ray-Ban Meta glasses send Messenger messages hands-free?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses can send Messenger messages using voice commands when the phone is connected and Messenger is linked in the app. Users say Hey Meta, send a message to [Contact Name] on Messenger, and the assistant prompts them to speak their message out loud. The glasses transcribe what the user says and send it as a Messenger message to the specified contact without requiring the user to touch their phone.

Question 14

Can Ray-Ban Meta glasses work without being connected to the Meta AI app?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses can capture photos and videos without the app open or without internet, saving them to internal storage for later transfer. They function as regular Bluetooth headphones once paired, allowing users to listen to music or answer phone calls even if the Meta app is not running in the foreground. Features that involve cloud services or account-specific actions, such as the Hey Meta assistant, live-streaming video, or sending messages, require the phone to be connected and often the Meta app to handle the service.

Question 15

Do Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses need a USB-C charging plug?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses charge exclusively through their carrying case, which is powered via a USB-C cable. The retail package includes a USB-C charging cable but typically does not include the wall power adapter. Users who want to charge from a wall outlet need to use a USB-C charger from another device or purchase one separately. The case can also be charged by plugging the USB-C cable into a computer USB port or battery pack.

Question 16

Do Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses require a smartphone?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) glasses require a compatible smartphone to set up and fully use all features. During initial setup, users pair the glasses with their phone using the Meta AI app, log in with a Meta account, and configure settings. The paired phone provides the internet connection and additional storage, with photos and videos transferring to the phone via the app. Some core functions like taking a picture or listening to audio work with just the Bluetooth connection. Features requiring internet, such as voice assistant queries, live streaming, or sending messages, only work when connected to a smartphone with internet access.

Question 17

Do Ray-Ban Meta glasses have a Find my glasses feature?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses do not have a built-in find my device function. The Meta companion app does not have a GPS locator or the ability to make the glasses ring or emit a sound for finding them. Ray-Ban Meta glasses do not have their own GPS or cellular chip that could help track them if lost.

Question 18

Do Ray-Ban Meta glasses need Wi-Fi?

Accepted Answer

Ray-Ban Meta glasses do not have a built-in internet connection and rely on the paired phone for any online features. They need some form of internet through the paired phone, either Wi-Fi or mobile data, for many functions. Features like the Meta AI voice assistant, live-streaming video, real-time text translation, or syncing captured media to the cloud require an internet connection via the paired phone. The glasses work for offline tasks such as taking photos or videos (which save for later transfer) and listening to music or answering calls via Bluetooth even without Wi-Fi.

Question 19

Do Ray-Ban Meta glasses work with more than one Meta account?

Accepted Answer

Each pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses can only be linked to one Meta account at a time. During setup, users pair the glasses with their smartphone and log in with their Meta account in the app, which associates that account with the glasses. Switching the glasses to a different Meta account requires a factory reset to clear the current account association, followed by setup from scratch with the new account. The glasses do not have a quick user-switching feature and cannot have two accounts active simultaneously.

Question 20

How do I answer or reject a Messenger call on Ray-Ban Meta glasses?

Accepted Answer

Users hear a ringing notification through the Ray-Ban Meta glasses' speakers when receiving an incoming Messenger call. Users answer a call by double-tapping the touchpad on the right temple arm. Users reject or ignore a call by pressing and holding the right temple touchpad for a couple of seconds until the ringing stops. Users can also answer or reject calls by saying Hey Meta, answer call or Hey Meta, reject call. Users can hang up an active call by double-tapping the touchpad again.

Question 21

Accepted Answer

Authentic Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have printed text on the inside of the right temple arm including the Ray-Ban logo and model name, with Gen 2 models displaying Ray-Ban Meta and a (Gen 2) designation. They have a small Meta infinity logo on or near the right hinge/temple area, which standard Ray-Ban sunglasses do not have. They have visible camera lenses near the upper outer corners of the frame front and tiny speaker grilles/openings along the temple arms. The charging case is a special hard shell with a built-in battery and metal charging contacts, with co-branding that says Ray-Ban | Meta on the inside of the lid.

Question 23

How do I connect Messenger for Ray-Ban Meta glasses?

How do I start a Messenger call from Ray-Ban Meta glasses?

Accepted Answer
