About your privacy

When you use WhatsApp on 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 the chat, not even WhatsApp or Meta, can read, listen to, or share them.
