Meta warns some of its AI glasses may get ‘too warm’ if they get wet

Meta is updating its AI glasses after a rare fault caused some devices to become too warm when moisture got inside. It says only a small number are affected, but is urging all Meta Glasses owners to install the update and offering free replacements to people whose glasses shut down unexpectedly.

The issue may be triggered by excessive moisture or sweat, despite the glasses’ IPX4 rating for light rain. Meta’s version 130 software update is rolling out to Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova and Capri models; Oakley and Ray-Ban glasses are not affected. The update can be installed through the Meta AI app, and affected users will receive a notification directing them to customer support.
