Users can activate the assistant by saying “Hey Meta” and access features such as real-time Q&A, music playback, creative prompts, and seamless communication. Equipped with built-in cameras and speakers, the glasses allow users to take photos and videos, make voice or video calls, and send messages across platforms like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram.
