When this feature is turned on, you can make a follow-up request or ask your glasses another question without saying “Hey Meta.”
For example:
– You could ask “Hey Meta, when was the Washington Monument built?” and then after you get a response ask “How tall is it?”
– You could ask “Hey Meta, what’s the weather like in Seattle?” and then after you get a response ask “How much battery do I have left?”
Respond without “Hey Meta” is on by default. You can turn this feature on or off at any time from the Meta AI app.
To turn Respond without “Hey Meta” on or off:
1. From the Meta AI app, tap in the bottom right.
2. Tap Meta AI, or select the device you want to manage settings for then tap Meta AI.
3. Tap “Hey Meta” preferences.
4. Tap the toggle next to Respond without “Hey Meta” to turn this feature on or off.
When this feature is turned on, your microphone will stay on for a short time after each request. It will turn off automatically after a few seconds if you do not make an additional request. You can end a conversation with your glasses by saying “Stop” or “Cancel.”
If you start talking in the few seconds following a voice command, the glasses will record and process your audio during that time. The notification LED will show if your glasses are processing your audio.
To protect your privacy, if we detect speech not intended for your glasses, your glasses will not react. Other requests may also be disabled after certain requests, such as music controls (example: “Hey Meta, turn up the volume”) to ensure we don’t disrupt playback.
Note: This feature is not available if your microphone is in active use. For example, if your first request was to make a phone call to someone or take a video, your glasses will not be listening for your follow-up request.
