Meta issued a fix for some AI glasses that can overheat when sweat or water gets inside. Owners of five styles should update now, especially for workouts or rain.
Meta has released a software update for some of its AI glasses after finding they can overheat when too much moisture or sweat gets inside. The company calls it a "rare issue." The fix is software version 130, and it installs through the Meta AI phone app.
The problem applies to the Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova and Capri styles of Meta Glasses. Meta says Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses are not affected by the overheating flaw or the update. If you own one of those, you can relax.
The risk is highest if you wear the glasses to work out or out in the rain, since that is when sweat or water is most likely to reach the inside of the frame.
The alert box above lists the steps. In short, keep the glasses charged and connected to your phone, then update to version 130 or later in the Meta AI app. Turning on automatic updates means future fixes arrive without any checking.
Some details are not yet public. Meta has not said how many pairs are affected or how hot the glasses can get. Tom's Guide says it has seen scattered social media posts about Ray-Ban glasses overheating after too much water exposure, but none specifically about Meta Glasses.
If you own Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova or Capri Meta Glasses, update to version 130 or later in the Meta AI app.
