Meta updates Ray‑Ban Meta 124.0

Meta’s current published software update for Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses is v24, not a glasses release Meta labels “124.0.” (meta.com) Meta’s release notes say v24 began rolling out the week of April 9, 2026. The headline feature is AI editing tools inside the Meta AI mobile app for photos captured with the glasses. (meta.com) Those tools let users animate photos, apply AI edits, and restyle images with creative effects. Meta describes them as part of the glasses experience, but the editing happens in the companion app, not on the frames themselves. (meta.com) (about.fb.com) That app changed names and scope a year earlier. On April 29, 2025, Meta said the new Meta AI app was being merged with the Meta View companion app for Ray-Ban Meta glasses. (about.fb.com) The shift matters because Meta is moving the glasses from a camera accessory model toward an AI assistant model. The app is designed so people can move from using Meta AI on their glasses to using it on their phones. (about.fb.com) Meta has also been widening the glasses line in hardware. On March 31, 2026, it introduced prescription-focused Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics styles starting at $499 in the United States. (about.fb.com) Those new frames came with another batch of software promises, including hands-free nutrition tracking, WhatsApp summaries, and recall features through Meta AI. The v24 editing update fits into that broader push to make the glasses useful after the photo is taken, not just during capture. (about.fb.com) (meta.com) The “124.0” label circulating in coverage appears to refer to app software versioning rather than a separately published glasses release note from Meta. Meta’s own support page lists April 2026 glasses updates as v24 for Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta, and v4 for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses. (meta.com) So the clearest takeaway is narrower than the hype: Meta added AI photo editing to its smart-glasses ecosystem in April, while the official glasses update name remained v24. (meta.com)
