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

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.
