Meta has paused its plan to introduce a $20 monthly subscription fee for a feature in its smart glasses after facing backlash from users. The feature, designed to enhance audio clarity, operates locally on the glasses without requiring cloud support.
The decision came after considerable criticism regarding the subscription model, which many users found unappealing. “Meta has paused those plans,” spokesperson Tyler Yee confirmed to The Verge.
Initially, the company intended to monetize this feature as part of its broader strategy for hardware products. This pause suggests that Meta may need to reassess its approach to monetization in light of user feedback.
