4 Ray-Ban Meta Settings to Change Now

Ray-Ban Meta glasses come with a range of features that make it easy to capture and share photos and videos, but they also raise concerns about user privacy. To protect your privacy, there are several settings that you should change before wearing them.

One key setting to change is the 'Hey Meta' voice activation feature, which is always listening for the wake phrase when turned on. This feature can be convenient, but it can also lead to accidental activations, especially if a normal conversation sounds similar to the wake phrase.

Another important setting to consider is cloud storage. When you enable Cloud media, Meta keeps copies of your photos and videos on its servers for up to 30 days. However, disabling Cloud media prevents the use of cloud-based features such as voice-controlled photo sharing and autocapture.

It's also worth noting that photos and videos captured for the gallery normally stay on the glasses until imported to a phone, and ordinary gallery captures are not used to train Meta's AI models. However, in the US, users can no longer prevent Meta from storing recordings of their AI voice interactions in the cloud, although they can manually delete saved recordings.

## Why it matters The stakes are high when it comes to user privacy, and making these changes can help reduce the amount of data collected, uploaded, or stored by Meta. By taking control of your privacy settings, you can enjoy the benefits of your Ray-Ban Meta glasses while also protecting your personal data.

To make these changes, simply wear your glasses, ensure they are connected to your phone, and open the Meta AI app. From there, you can choose your glasses and go to Meta AI > 'Hey Meta' preferences to deactivate the 'Hey Meta' toggle. You can also disable Cloud media to prevent Meta from storing your photos and videos on its servers.

By taking these steps, you can help protect your privacy and enjoy your Ray-Ban Meta glasses with greater peace of mind.
