Firmware version 22 has arrived for Meta smart glasses, and it’s one of the biggest updates yet. Rolling out to both generations of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, the upgrade delivers advanced media tools, smarter audio, fitness integrations, and stronger third-party compatibility. Whether you’re a creator, athlete, or daily commuter, this update pushes the glasses closer to becoming an all-in-one wearable companion.
Here’s a breakdown of the most important improvements and why they matter.
Advanced Media Creation Tools
Version 22 transforms the glasses into a surprisingly capable content tool.
Hyperlapse Recording
You can now shoot stabilized time-lapse videos perfect for travel, city walks, and outdoor adventures. The stabilization makes clips smoother and more cinematic without extra editing.
Slow Motion Capture
Slow motion recording lets you highlight detail and motion — ideal for sports, creative shots, or storytelling moments.
Extended Video Duration
- First-gen models: up to 3 minutes
- Second-gen models: up to 5 minutes
This upgrade is huge for vloggers and creators who previously hit recording limits too quickly.
Why it matters: The glasses now compete with compact action cameras for casual creators.
Smarter Audio for Clearer Conversations
Audio processing sees a major upgrade designed for real-world environments.
Conversation Focus
Voices are amplified in noisy spaces. You can switch between:
- Standard mode
- Boost mode
- Off
Perfect for cafés, meetings, and busy streets.
Natural Audio Fade
Sound now transitions more realistically when you move away from a speaker, creating a more immersive listening experience.
Result: Calls and conversations feel clearer and less fatiguing.
Enhanced Voice Assistant + Fitness Integration
The built-in assistant becomes more useful for everyday multitasking.
You can now:
- Check fitness stats instantly
- Get weather and news updates faster
- Track workouts in real time
The glasses sync with Apple Health and Garmin, enabling deeper fitness tracking. When paired with compatible Garmin watches, workout overlays can appear automatically during activities.
This turns the glasses into a lightweight fitness HUD.
Expanded Third-Party App Compatibility
The ecosystem is growing.
Spotify Integration
With Spotify, you can generate playlists based on your environment — workouts, commutes, or relaxation — without pulling out your phone.
Improved sync with fitness apps ensures your health data remains accurate and continuous.
Takeaway: The glasses feel less like a gadget and more like an extension of your phone.
Find My Location: Built-In Safety Net
A new tracking feature similar to Apple AirTag helps you locate misplaced glasses. It records the last connected location, making recovery simple.
If you’re prone to losing devices, this feature alone is a lifesaver.
Inclusive Update Across All Models
One standout decision: Meta delivered the full feature set to both generations.
No forced upgrades. No locked features.
This inclusive rollout shows a user-first approach that rewards existing customers instead of pushing new hardware.
Why This Update Matters
Firmware v22 isn’t just a patch — it’s a functional leap forward.
You get:
- Creator-level video tools
- Clearer real-world audio
- Fitness dashboard integration
- Smarter assistant features
- Broader app compatibility
- Built-in device tracking
The glasses evolve from novelty wearable to everyday utility device.
If smart glasses are going to become mainstream, updates like this are the bridge. Version 22 proves Meta is serious about turning wearable tech into something practical, creative, and genuinely useful in daily life.
