Your AI glasses can alert you of incoming calls and messages from the following providers: Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, and from your iPhone or Android phone. When you connect to a provider, your glasses can announce who's calling or messaging you and can also readout your messages.
Set up message announcement and readout
- From the Meta AI mobile app, tap
Glasses in the top right.
- Tap
Device settings.
- If you have multiple devices paired with the Meta AI mobile app, swipe left or right to select the device you want to adjust settings for before tapping

- Tap Communication.
- Tap Your phone, Messenger, WhatsApp or Instagram then tap the toggle next to Announce messages or Automatic message readout to turn these features on or off.
Note:
- If you don't hear message announcements when the toggle is on, make sure you've provided Bluetooth permission in your phone's Messenger app settings.
- When vanish mode is enabled on Messenger, your glasses won't be able to read your messages out loud.
- You can listen to voice messages after they're announced by saying "Hey Meta, play the message."
- You can reply to messages after they're announced by saying, "Hey Meta, reply." You can also reply to voice messages with a voice message by saying "Hey Meta, reply with a voice message."
How to respond to incoming call announcements
Touch controls
You can use the following gestures on the touchpad to respond to calls. The touchpad is located along the side of the right glasses arm.
- Double-tap to answer a call.
- Press and hold to reject a call.
Meta AI
You can use the following voice commands to respond to incoming calls:
- "Hey Meta, answer."
- "Hey Meta, reject."
Considerations for iPhones
- If you also use Siri's call announcements on your iPhone, you may hear both call announcements, one by Siri and one by Meta. You can turn off Siri's announcements in your iPhone settings for Siri, and you can turn off announcements on your glasses in the Meta AI mobile app by going to Device settings then Communication.
- Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram calls may sometimes be announced as an iPhone call. To turn off incoming call announcements for Messenger, WhatsApp, or Instagram, you may also need to turn off incoming call announcements for your iPhone.
