How to use Spark.

Everything you need, topic by topic โ€” from creating your profile to meeting in the Lava Lounge, on your phone or on your Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.

โœจ

Getting started

Spark is a web app โ€” nothing to download. Create your account on your phone first; you'll connect your glasses afterwards.

  1. On your phone, open smartsparks.app.
  2. Sign up with your email and a password, or tap Continue with Google.
  3. If you used email, confirm your phone number with the text code Spark sends you.
  4. Build your profile: name, birthday, gender, who you're interested in, photos, a short bio and your interests. Lifestyle details (drinking, kids, exercise and so on) are optional.
  5. Read the Safety First tips and tap I Agree โ€” Let's Spark!
Tip: Right after you join, Spark offers to create a 6-digit PIN. Say yes if you have Ray-Ban Display glasses โ€” it gives you the Glasses Code you need in the next step.

Glasses setup

Meta AI app Apps screen showing Spark under Web Apps

1. Add Spark to your glasses

  1. Open the Meta AI app on your phone (the app your glasses already use).
  2. Turn on Developer Mode so Web Apps are available.
  3. Add a Web App with the address smartsparks.app.

2. Get your Glasses Code (on your phone)

  1. When Spark asks, Create PIN: pick a 6-digit PIN and enter it twice.
  2. Spark shows a 6-digit Glasses Code. Keep it on screen.

3. Sign in on your glasses

  1. Launch Spark from your glasses and choose ๐Ÿ‘“ Glasses.
  2. Tap in the Glasses Code from your phone, then your PIN. No typing, no password.
Lost the code or changed your password? On your phone go to Profile โ†’ ๐Ÿ‘“ Reset Glasses Code, set a new PIN, and use the fresh code. After 5 wrong PIN attempts, wait 30 seconds and try again.

Your profile

  • Edit Profile to change photos, bio (speak it with ๐ŸŽค if you like), prompts, interests and details. Free profiles hold 3 photos; Premium holds 6.
  • Get Verified: take a quick selfie copying the pose shown. The Spark team checks it against your photos, and you get a blue โœ“ that others can see. (Use your phone โ€” the glasses have no front camera.)
  • Who viewed you: see how many people viewed your profile; Premium shows who and when.
  • Boost Premium: puts you at the top of Discover for 30 minutes, once a day.
  • ๐Ÿ‘“ Reset Glasses Code lives here too (see Glasses setup).
Tip: New photos are checked automatically. If one is held for review you'll see "One of your photos is being reviewed" โ€” it comes back once it's approved.

Safety

Every safety feature is free for every member.

Date check-in

  1. In the chat with your date, open โ‹ฏ โ†’ ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Date check-in.
  2. Add where you're meeting, when it starts, and when Spark should check on you (1โ€“4 hours later).
  3. Tap โœ… Start check-in, and ๐Ÿ“ค Share with a friend if you like โ€” they don't need Spark.
  4. At check-in time Spark asks if you're OK. Tap I'm safe, or I need help to share your live location with a friend; a Call 911 button is right there.

Only you can see your check-in โ€” your date is never told. Turn on notifications so Spark can reach you.

Report or block

From a chat's โ‹ฏ menu, a profile, or a Lounge member's name, choose Report / Block. Blocking is instant; reports go to the Spark team. Unblock people in โ˜ฐ Menu โ†’ ๐Ÿšซ Blocked people.

Remember: keep personal and financial details private, meet in public first, never send money, and trust your instincts. In an emergency, call 911.
