Meta released a software update to fix an overheating flaw in some Meta-built glasses. The company describes the issue as rare and says it occurs when excessive moisture or sweat enters the glasses.
Why it matters
Owners of the affected styles may experience overheating during normal exposure to moisture, and the update provides a fix through the Meta AI app. Scattered social media reports about Ray-Ban glasses overheating from water exposure have not been confirmed for Meta Glasses.
The fix is delivered as version 130 and applies only to the Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova, and Capri styles, while Ray-Ban and Oakley Meta glasses are not affected. Meta has not disclosed how many units are affected or how often the overheating occurs.
The players
Meta
Meta Platforms is the technology company that designs and sells the Meta Glasses line and operates the Meta AI app used to deliver the update.
The details
To install the update, owners open the Meta AI mobile app, go to Glasses or Devices, select their glasses, and choose Device settings. The glasses must be charged and connected during installation.

Roadmap
Meta's delivery of this fix through the Meta AI app, rather than a hardware recall, reflects how smart glasses from Meta are maintained through over-the-air software updates. The approach mirrors the firmware-update model used across connected consumer devices as wearable AI hardware becomes more common.
Owners of the affected Meta Glasses styles should install version 130 through the Meta AI app while the glasses are charged and connected. Owners of Ray-Ban or Oakley Meta glasses do not need to install this update because those models are not affected.
The takeaway
Keeping Meta Glasses updated through the Meta AI app is the practical step owners can take to resolve this overheating flaw. Avoiding excessive moisture and sweat exposure may also reduce the chance of the issue recurring.
