How to share photos and videos with AI glasses
You can share photos and videos that you capture with your glasses from the Meta AI mobile app. Before sharing media, it must first be imported from your glasses. Importing transfers media you capture from your glasses to your phone's photo app using the Meta AI mobile app. Auto-import can be turned on or off in the Meta AI mobile app, and may be on by default depending on your phone and your glasses' software version.
Some media in the Meta AI mobile app is shown in Gallery from your phone's photo app, which requires your permission to access. If you delete imported media from your phone's photo app, or change the Meta AI mobile app's permission to access your photos in your phone's settings, some media may not appear in Gallery.
To manually import media:
- Ensure that you have enabled Bluetooth on your phone and paired your glasses and phone using the Meta AI mobile app.
- From the Meta AI mobile app, tap
Glasses in the top right.
- If you have unimported captures on your glasses, an Import button will appear next to Gallery. Tap Import to begin importing media.
To share media from the Meta AI mobile app:
- From the Meta AI mobile app, tap
- Tap Gallery.
- Tap the capture that you want to share.
- Tap
Share, then select where you want to share the capture.
How to share media using Meta AI
You can also use voice controls to share photos and videos directly to your Messenger, Facebook and Instagram story, WhatsApp and your phone's messaging contact list, as long as they're connected to the Meta AI mobile app. You can connect them by going to Communication in Device settings.
When you share media using Meta AI, you will not be able to preview or edit your media before sharing.
Say one of the following phrases to share media using Meta AI:
- "Send a picture to [contact name]."
- "Send a picture to [contact name] on Messenger/WhatsApp/my phone."
- "Send my last picture to [contact name]."
- "Send a video to [contact name] on Messenger/WhatsApp/my phone."
- "Send a video to [contact name]."
