About your privacy

When you use WhatsApp on Ray-Ban Stories or Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, your calls and personal messages are secured with end-to-end encryption. To protect your privacy, as soon as it’s identified that you’re sending a message or making a call, audio content is not sent to Meta servers. Various factors can affect accuracy, such as the clarity of your voice command that indicates the start of a message. No one outside of your chats, not even WhatsApp or Meta, can read or listen to them.

How to wear your Ray-Ban Meta glasses responsibly

Here are some tips to help you and those around you feel safe and comfortable while you’re wearing your glasses.

For more information on Ray-Ban Meta glasses and responsible use, please see more of our Safety Guidelines.

Respect people’s preferences

Not everyone loves being photographed. Stop recording if anyone expresses that they would rather opt out, and be particularly mindful of others before going live.

Power off in private spaces

Turn off your glasses in sensitive spaces such as the doctor’s surgery, changing room, public toilets, school or place of worship.

Let that capture LED light shine

Show others how the capture LED works so they know when you’re recording. If the capture LED is covered, you’ll be notified to clear it before taking a photo or video or going live.

Be a good community member

Obey the law. Don’t use your glasses to engage in harmful activities such as harassment, infringing on privacy rights or capturing sensitive information such as pin codes.

Keep your eyes on the road

Use caution when operating a motor vehicle while wearing glasses, stay focused on driving.

Show others when you’re capturing

Be respectful of people nearby. Use your voice or a clear gesture when controlling your glasses to let them know that you’re about to capture, particularly before going live.

Ray-Ban Meta: Výdrž baterie a nabíjení v praxi

Inteligentní brýle Ray-Ban Meta, vytvořené společnostmi Meta a EssilorLuxottica, kombinují klasický design s moderními technologiemi. Vestavěné fotoaparity, mikrofony a reproduktory doplňuje baterie, jejíž výdrž je klíčová pro každodenní použití. Tento článek shrnuje praktické zkušenosti s nabíjením a výdrží brýlí při reálném nasazení.


Baterie a výdrž v reálu

Výdrž baterie se liší podle způsobu použití:

Scénář použitíPrůměrná výdrž
Pasivní nošení (hudba + hovory)3,5 až 4 hodiny
Aktivní focení a video2 až 2,5 hodiny
Hovory přes WhatsAppAž 3 hodiny
Pohotovostní režimAž 5 hodin

Při běžném provozu je možné zvládnout běžný den, pokud nejsou brýle používány nepřetržitě.


Nabíjení brýlí Ray-Ban Meta

Brýle se nabíjejí pomocí speciálního nabíjecího pouzdra:

  • Plné nabití brýlí trvá cca 75 minut.
  • Rychlé nabití na 50 % trvá cca 22 minut.
  • Nabíjení probíhá přes magnetický kontakt v pouzdru.
  • Pouzdro ukazuje stav baterie pomocí LED diod.

Nabíjecí pouzdro a jeho výdrž

Samotné pouzdro funguje jako powerbanka:

  • Plně nabité pouzdro vystačí na až 32 hodin nabíjení brýlí.
  • Nabíjení pouzdra trvá cca 3,5 hodiny přes USB-C.
  • Možné nabíjet i z powerbanky nebo notebooku.

Shrnutí a doporučení

Baterie Ray-Ban Meta zvládne běžný denní režim, pokud se funkce jako focení nebo hovory používají příležitostně. Nabíjecí pouzdro dává brýlím dostatečnou nezávislost pro cestování či celodenní použití. Doporučuje se nabíjet pouzdro přes noc a sledovat LED indikaci při každém zasunutí brýlí.
