Meta has told owners of its own-brand Meta Glasses to install a software update, after a small number of pairs got too warm when sweat or rain got inside. The update adds an automatic shutdown, and anyone whose glasses overheat can ask Meta for a replacement.
The styles named are Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova and Capri. Meta says its Ray-Ban and Oakley glasses are not affected. Meta described the fault as rare and emailed owners under the subject line “Action required”.
Version 130 makes the glasses switch themselves off once they reach a low temperature threshold, much as a phone does when it overheats. Inside the Meta AI app, the glasses icon at top right leads to your model’s settings, where Updates has a Check and Install button. Automatic updates can also be switched on there. 9to5Google, which went through the notice and the update steps, adds that it found a year-old report of sweat-related overheating on Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which this update does not touch.
The glasses are rated IPX4, according to Meta’s water resistance page, which covers light rain but not submersion or long exposure to liquid. If they get wet, Meta says to take them off and dry them fully with a soft cloth, and not to put wet glasses in the charging case, which is not water resistant either.
Meta Glasses went on sale in summer 2026 from $299. Pakistan has approved import curbs on camera smart glasses, and Meta has named no Pakistani seller for these.
