Meta Adds Threads to Quest and Ray-Ban Display, Updates Smart Glasses with Muse Spark AI

Meta launched the Threads app on Quest headsets via the Horizon Store in early August, setting it as a preinstalled application that force-downloaded to most devices. The social network also arrived on Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses in late July, supporting scroll gestures and video viewing. Concurrently, Meta updated its smart glasses ecosystem by replacing Llama 4 with Muse Spark for Meta AI. New features include Photo Ultra HDR, Instagram Instants, background WhatsApp voice chats, and Battery Saver Mode. A Wi-Fi Aware feature for seamless iPhone media import is currently limited to US and Canada Early Access participants. These updates precede expected announcements at Meta Connect 2026 later this month.
