Meta-Display no updates in months

Hello, I am still on version 18 for my Meta display. As an electrician, that works with their hands, I purchased the Meta Ray band displays with the intent to fill my work with the hyper lapse feature, as well as the slow motion feature. As I understand it, only half of the owners of Ray ban meta displays or Ray Bay metas have the hyper lapse feature available. This is fine, although, I am unable to respond to text by drawing on my leg as well. When I purchased these glasses, I was told that they would be updated regularly by Meta. Now I am concerned that Meta will not be updating the glasses, but rather release new glasses instead of working with what they already have. Is there any timeline for any updates? I really do enjoy the style and the idea of the glasses, but very few of the features that were advertised to me are even available. I create content daily, and I have to bring my videos into an editor in order to speed them up. I would really like to do this native of the glasses. The other issue at hand is that when I purchased the glasses, upon taking video using the Zoom feature with my hand would work great! Although now when I use the Zoom feature, you can see my hand turning in the video to Zoom and in the display it shows that it is zooming, but in the saved video there is no zoom at all. I check my glasses and Meta AI app daily in search for an update, unfortunately, in my time of owning these there has not been any. I would like to at least see Meta work on the battery management system of these glasses at the very least. I can have as much as 50% battery on my glasses, although from time to time it will tell me that battery is too low and captures disabled. Also Meta you have removed the option to live stream from my glasses.

So Meta, my questions to y’all is well. The features that were advertised to us ever be available? Is there a timeline for any updates? And can any timeline be shared? Will you be working on making these glasses better, or will these glasses be obsolete in the next few months for a new version of glasses? 


I really do think the glasses are a great idea in concept, although without any of the features advertised, they seem to be a paperweight to me.

  • There is a lot of potential here, and I do my best to use them daily, and I would like to genuinely integrate these glasses  into my everyday life, but unfortunately, I am unable to do that at this point with ease. I’d like to be of help in any way possible, I have paid a little under $1000, for glasses with features that aren’t or may not ever be available. Could a timeline please be shared?

      Has anyone successfully received the V21 for the Meta Displays?

        I have, but unfortunately not much changed for me. Teleprompter is available with hey meta command, but nowhere to copy/paste text in the app. Handwriting is there and works, but only in whatsapp and fb messenger. I still cant connect my audible account, which i susually switch between that and amazon music on my gen 1. I still dont have 5 minute recording option or video stabilization for my display either. Oh, and still no conversation focus even though it states in the update notes it should be there. Thats just my experience.

  • I have a similar problem.  My display glasses say v18 and my Wayfarers say v21.  I don't get it. Why won't the display glasses update?

      Same here, my Display is stuck to 18.1. Tried everything: device repairing, app reinstall, factory reset. Nothing worked, keeps telling me I'm on the latest.

  • Actually I think the problem is the missing updates. Update the app to version 20 via Playstore and then try to update the glasses inside the Meta AI App. 

    I hope that's gonna resolve your issues

      I’m on the latest app version. I appreciate the thought. I’m on Glasses V18, how about everyone else?

  • Good luck. Welcome to Meta, where promised features are rolled out randomly on a random schedule or maybe not at all🤷‍♂️.
