Respond without “Hey Meta” on AI glasses
When this feature is turned on, you can make a follow-up request or ask your glasses another question without saying “Hey Meta.”
For example:
- You could ask “Hey Meta, when was the Washington Monument built?” and then after you get a response ask “How tall is it?"
- You could ask “Hey Meta, what’s the weather like in Seattle?” and then after you get a response ask “How much battery do I have left?”
Respond without “Hey Meta” is on by default. You can turn this feature on or off at any time from the Meta AI mobile app in Device settings.
To turn Respond without “Hey Meta” on or off:
- 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
- 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 Meta AI.
- Tap “Hey Meta” preferences.
- Tap the toggle next to Respond without “Hey Meta” to turn this feature on or off.
When this feature is turned on, your microphone will stay on after each request you make and will turn off automatically if you don’t make an additional request after a little while. You can end a conversation with your glasses by saying "Stop" or "Cancel."
If you start talking after giving a voice command, the glasses will record and process your audio during that time. The notification LED will show if your glasses are processing your audio.
To protect your privacy, if we detect speech not intended for your glasses, your glasses will not react. Certain requests will not trigger responding without "Hey Meta", such as music controls (example: “Hey Meta, turn up the volume”) to ensure we don’t disrupt playback.
Note: This feature is not available if your microphone is in active use. For example, if your first request was to make a phone call to someone or take a video, your glasses will not be listening for your follow-up request.
