Meta issues a high-priority update to prevent overheating in some of its glasses

Meta has released a critical software update for some of its Meta Glasses models to prevent them from overheating due to excessive moisture or sweat. The update, version 130, addresses potential overheating issues in the Adventurer, Fury, Starfire, Nova, and Capri styles. Users of these models are advised to update their glasses through the Meta AI app on their smartphones as soon as possible.

The update was announced in an email from Meta, which specifically stated that the issue does not affect Ray-Ban or Oakley-branded Meta glasses. While no specific reports of overheating in the mentioned Meta Glass styles have been reported, Reddit threads have cited overheating issues in Ray-Ban Meta glasses over the years. Interestingly, the only post related to sweat-related overheating in Meta Glasses was from a year ago, which the new update does not address.

The Meta Glasses were launched this summer as an affordable alternative to Ray-Ban and Oakley-branded AI glasses, starting at $299.
