The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have received an update that makes it easy to share to Instagram without relying on your smartphone.
You can now use the eyewear to share directly to a Story simply by asking the voice assistant to either “post a photo to Instagram” (if you want to take a new picture) or “share my last photo to Instagram.” This won’t help if you want to make a permanent post, but it could be ideal if you want to add to your Stories while you’re in the heat of the moment.
