Unable to connect Meta AI app to Garmin

As other have reported there is an issue getting the Meta AI app to connect to Garmin.

Got excactly the same issue as reported here: Oakley Meta Vanguard can't connect to Garmin from Meta AI | Meta Community Forums - 1350499

--

I'm using an iPhone and have the following issue trying to connect my Meta AI app to Garmin Connect. Starting in the Meta AI app:

  1. Open Devices -> Vanguard -> App connections
  2. Select Garmin
  3. Press "Connect Garmin"
  4. Press "Yes, allow" on "Allow connection to Garmin?" screen
  5. This open the Garmin Connect app on a "Meta AI" screen
  6. Press "Agree" on "Connect with Meta AI?" form
  7. This opens a link to facebook.com in Safari. I'm not sure what the full link is.
  8. What appears is my facebook feed, with a callout box at the bottom of the page reading "The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed"

--

Have tried to delete and reinstall the Meta app 2 times. Same error. No change. Tried to mess around with language settings as I'm on Norwegian settings for phone, Meta AI and Garmin app.

Glasses are Oakley Vanguard and my Garmin device is Garmin Edge 1050.

Kind of in a dead end here and help would be nice.

Thanks for helping out. The helpfull link did help. My error was that I had not connected my Garmin device to the phone prior to trying to connect. 
For other Garmin app connections, this is not something you usually need to do, hence I missed that step.

Dear Meta Team.

 

I also have problem with the connection from Garmin to Oakley Meta Vanguard. After I paired my Vanguard, I couldn’t see any Garmin menu in App Connection. I already update all of the apps (Garmin Connect, Garmin Connect IQ Store, and Meta AI) and also the Vanguard and my Garmin watch (Fenix 8 51mm Amoled)

I did the restart, delete, reinstall actions as all forums seem to state. Didn’t work.

 

the thing that worked was using a VPN and set my location to USA (I’m in the UK). Not sure if a coincidence, but seems unlikely
