Meta now wants you to pay for this smart glasses feature that runs on-device (Updated)

TL;DR

• Meta has capped its Conversation Focus feature on smart glasses to three hours of usage per month.


• You can pay for a $19.99/month Meta One subscription to get 15 hours of usage per month.


• Conversation Focus runs entirely on the glasses and doesn’t require an internet connection, setting a precedent for more on-device features to end up behind a paywall.


• Meta responded to Android Authority, explaining why Conversation Focus now has a monthly usage limit.

Update: July 2, 2026 (2:00 AM ET): A Meta spokesperson told the Android Authority team that “Conversation Focus is powered by AI that our team is continuously developing and improving; the subscription supports that ongoing work and gives power users expanded access along with premium device support.” The mention of “expanded access” suggests there are ongoing compute costs associated with the feature, which could indicate that some level of cloud processing is involved.

Meta also clarified that the Meta One subscription currently includes only expanded access to Conversation Focus and premium device support.
