Meta View app redesign

Has anyone figured out how to use the redesigned Meta View app?

The thing that clued me into the change was that my glasses have stopped notifying me when a text comes in. I hear a chime, but Meta no longer gives me the option to read it. So I opened the app, and it's a complete redesign. I can't even find settings anymore to check and make sure announce texts is still enabled.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there, Go to the devices tab and the device settings is way at the bottom if you scrole down with a three finger scrole up. Click that and from there things should be as it were. Click on communications and everything should be listed in there. BTW your experience may be different if you have more than one pair of glasses. I only have the one so can't attest to if you have more than one pair. HTH.

Have you tried doing a four finger single tap toward the bottom of your screen, to see if you can get to the Home, Gallery, Meta AI, & Settings buttons?
My Meta View is running version 203.0.0.13.170, for what it's worth.

Thanks for the pointer. The new Meta View looks almost nothing like the old one. The point of taking away the clearly labeled settings tab is lost on me.

Shazam and Be My Eyes were still connected, but the app redesign had disconnected both Phone and Messenger. I reconnected both apps and message announcement is working again.

Strange. I'm getting on the bottom, devices, history and activity all listed as tabs. Nothing like the old version. I don't know if the new update is rolled out for ya yet. But yeah, if you do a 4 finger tap at the bottom and flick left till you get to device settings that can also work. I was just coming at this from a main stream point of view. Sorry bout that.

You are probably correct in that the update has not made it to me just yet. So, this should be fun once that happens. 😭
