A new Ray-Ban Meta update adds reminders and voice messages


Meta is bringing reminders to its Ray-Ban smart glasses, a feature it previewed during its Connect event last month. With the update, you can ask Meta AI to remember your surroundings, like where you parked, and even time up reminders to make a phone call.

The other features coming with the update include the ability to send and record voice messages on WhatsApp or Messenger without taking out your phone. You can now ask Meta AI to scan QR codes or call phone numbers that you come across, too.

Meta is also updating how you invoke Meta AI while wearing the smart glasses. Instead of saying “Hey Meta” before each question, you now only need to say “Hey Meta” for your first question and then ask any additional questions without the prompt. You also no longer have to tell Meta AI to “look and” when you’re asking about something you see.

Meta’s AI assistant is currently only available in the US and Canada. You can access the new features by updating the Meta View app on iOS and Android to version 186, which started rolling out on Wednesday. Along with this update, Meta revealed that its limited edition translucent Ray-Bans have already sold out online (but some may still be available in stores).

Meta will begin testing its X-style Community Notes starting March 18th. The feature will roll out on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads in the US – but Meta won’t publicly publish the notes to start as it tests the Community Notes writing and rating system. Meta first announced plans to replace its fact-checking program with Community Notes in January, saying it would be “less prone to bias.” So far, around 200,000 potential contributors have signed up for the waitlist. Not everyone will be able to write and rate Community Notes at launch, as… Source link

An arbitrator has decided in favor of Meta in a case the company brought against Sarah Wynn-Williams, the former Meta employee who wrote a memoir published this week detailing alleged claims of misconduct at the company.
