Wake word change confusion v 19.1
For the past two years, I’ve been saying “Okay Meta” as the wake word on my Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses — and it’s always worked perfectly. After updating my Gen 2 Wayfarer to version 19.1, though, the glasses no longer respond properly. The LED lights up and you hear the activation sound, but it shuts off almost immediately. Say “Hey Meta”, the official wake word, and everything works as normal. When I switch to my Gen 1 Headliner, “Okay Meta” still works fine with version 19.1. Has anyone else noticed this change? It may be that Meta was previously more liberal in recognising slight variations of the official wake word, and that the Gen 2 firmware is now stricter in how it maps and processes them. After updating to v19.1, I thought I’d broken Meta Assistant functionality. Relieved I tried a slightly different wake word — more by accident than design! I’m having to unlearn a habit built over the past two years. With the wake word change, saying “Hey Meta” instead of “Okay Meta” feels unnatural and already tough going. After a day of use, I keep saying “Okay Meta”… and nothing happens. It’s surprisingly frustrating when something so small breaks the flow. I really hope Meta makes the assistant more liberal with wake word recognition again. “Okay Meta” is stuck in my mind — and hard to shift.Solved751Views1like17Comments
