Phone numbers and contact history will stay on your devices and will not be shared with Meta servers.
  • If your phone is a dual SIM device, then your phone’s default SIM will be used to make hands-free calls when connected to the Meta AI mobile app.
  • For Instagram contacts that don’t have names associated with their account, you can set a nickname for them within an existing chat in the Instagram app, which you can then use to call and message them on your glasses. Learn more about nicknames in the Instagram Help Center.

  • Emergency calls (example: 911 in the US) must be initiated from your mobile device.
  • If you have connected your glasses to your iPhone or Android phone, please review your carrier’s emergency calling information to understand any limitations.
