If you're experiencing an issue with your glasses, restarting might help. Restarting your glasses will not erase any unimported media or cause the glasses to unpair from the Meta AI mobile app.

To restart your glasses:

  1. Slide the power button back to power the glasses off.
    Power off.
  2. Wait a few seconds, then slide the power button forwards to turn the glasses back on. Your glasses will automatically reconnect with the app after they've woken up.
    Power on.

If this does not correct the issue, try a forced restart. Force restarting will not delete your captures or require you to pair your glasses to the app again.

To force restart your glasses:

  1. Slide the power button back to power the glasses off.
  2. Press and hold the capture button.
  3. While still holding the capture button, slide the power button forwards to turn your glasses back on.
  4. Once the status light LED has turned red, release the capture button.

After a forced restart, it may take a few minutes for your glasses to reestablish a connection with the app. If your glasses don't reconnect to the app within a few minutes, you may need to unpair your glasses from the Meta AI mobile app and from the Bluetooth devices on your phone, and then repeat the pairing procedure.

If you're still having issues, you can try to factory reset your glasses, or contact Meta Store Support.
