- Ray-Ban Stories pairs with the new Facebook View app, so you can share your point of view, stories, and memories seamlessly with friends and social media followers.
- The Facebook View app on iOS and Android makes it easy to import, edit, and share content captured on the smart glasses to apps on phones, including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, and more.
- Furthermore, users can save content to their phone’s camera roll and edit and share from there.
- New, exclusive post-capture enhancements built into Facebook View allow users to create unique content to put a special spin on their posts.
Ray-Ban Stories are available in 20 variations, in some of the most iconic Ray-Ban styles — Wayfarer/Wayfarer Large, Round, and Meteor — and five colors with a range of lenses including clear, sun, transition, and prescription, so you can choose the style that’s right for you.
