Meta’s current instructions use a charged, powered-on pair in its case. Begin in the app, not in the phone’s Bluetooth menu. If the glasses were linked to another account, Meta says they must be factory reset before someone else can pair them.
Pair from the app
- Prepare the phone. Install or update the Meta AI app, sign in, turn Bluetooth on and make sure Wi-Fi is active.
- Power on the glasses. Slide the left-frame power switch toward the front of the glasses.
- Dock them in the case. Set the nose bridge contacts against the charging contacts, then wait for the case LED to pulse blue. If pairing mode doesn’t start, hold the button on the back of the case for at least five seconds.
- Open the Meta AI app. Tap Glasses, then Add, and follow the on-screen pairing prompts.
- Confirm the phone prompt. Approve the Bluetooth request if it appears. Keep the setup inside the app rather than initiating pairing from Bluetooth settings.
The supplied notes describe a case-free attempt using folded arms and a long capture-button press, then choosing “No case?” in-app. Meta’s current pairing instructions do not document that procedure. Treat it as an unverified workaround, not a guaranteed step; the normal supported method uses the case.
If pairing stalls
First check charge, app version, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Meta advises waiting about 45 seconds after docking the powered-on glasses before starting. If the glasses already appear in the phone’s Bluetooth list, forget that connection and retry from the app. Reinstalling the app or factory-resetting the glasses are later steps; a factory reset deletes photos and videos stored on the glasses.
