Ray-Ban Meta lets you publish stories to more sites with your voice

As the Ray-Ban Meta approaches its first anniversary, the company continues to beef up its smart glasses with new features. Software version 8.0 is now available to users, expanding support for hands-free story sharing to Facebook. The feature, once available only on Instagram, works via voice commands in English.

According to a post on Reddit, software version 8.0 is now available to download and install on Ray-Ban Meta glasses. The official changelog states that English-speaking users can now upload stories to Facebook using just their voice.

For now, the feature supports two main commands: “Hey Meta, share a photo to my Facebook story” and “Hey Meta, share my latest photo on Facebook.” The former takes a photo with your Ray-Ban Meta on the spot and uploads it directly to Facebook, while the latter shares the latest photo you took with your glasses.

Ray-Ban Meta first introduced hands-free story sharing on Instagram in May. With Facebook’s adoption, more users can now conveniently post to Meta’s various social media sites. It’s worth noting, however, that Meta allows some users to automatically post stories between Facebook, Instagram, and in some cases, WhatsApp. So, depending on your sharing preferences, posting a story on one platform can automatically share it to the others.

To enable hands-free story sharing, you need to update your Ray-Ban Meta glasses to the latest version. Then, you need to go to the Meta View app and go to Settings, then Communications. There, you can pair your Facebook and/or Instagram accounts to enable hands-free sharing.
