The integration will allow users to make hands-free calls, send text messages and hear messages read aloud. Users can also take photos and videos as well as listen to music
WhatsApp support available only in these regions
The Ray Ban smart glasses users only in United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, and Australia will be able to experience this feature. The company has not yet rolled out the feature in India.
