HOW DO I SWITCH THE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH MY RAY-BAN STORIES GLASSES? / CAN SOMEONE ELSE USE MY RAY-BAN STORIES AFTER ME?

You can do this yourself, or alternatively the person receiving the glasses will be prompted to complete a factory reset when they attempt to log in with their account.
When Ray-Ban Stories go through a factory reset, it permanently erases all captures and any associations between the glasses and your Facebook Account.

To factory reset, take the following steps:

1. Make sure the glasses are fully powered on and not in use
2. Slide and hold the power switch all the way to the right, while you press and hold the capture button
3. When the notification LED turns solid orange, first release the capture button followed by the power switch
4. Factory reset is complete when the notification LED turns off

CAN I PAIR MY RAY-BAN STORIES WITH MORE THAN ONE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT?
Ray-Ban Stories can only pair with one valid Facebook account at a time. You’ll need to factory reset your glasses before someone else can use them.
