Meta has been requesting more Google apps for its headsets, but a report revealed by The Information reveals that Google made an offer that could solve this problem, which was rejected by Mark Zuckerberg. The proposal involved a partnership with the Android XR program so that its glasses would become compatible with Android apps.

The proposal was made during a meeting between representatives from Google and Meta at the end of 2023. In the words of The Information: “Google suggested that Meta partner on Android XR, but Meta executives decided to decline the offer.

Among the reasons for rejecting the proposal are profound changes to Meta’s glasses system, as it would be forced to use an open source version of Android.

On the other hand, it is reported that Google remains open to negotiations with Meta to bring Android XR to its headsets, but has also approached other manufacturers of AR/VR glasses to bring Android to new types of devices in the future. .
