Meta Glasses Said to Be Recording Even When They’re in Sleep Mode
"Can't trust anyone these days." The post Meta Glasses Said to Be Recording Even When They’re in Sleep Mode appeared first on Futurism .
Meta’s AI-equipped smart glasses have been raising privacy concerns as users report their devices are capturing conversations even when they are in sleep mode. According to Android Authority, several owners of Meta glasses have experienced their devices recording without the user ever saying the wake phrase, similar to other smart assistants like Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri.
This unauthorized recording is occurring across different generations of Meta glasses. A Reddit user reported the issue in detail across three pairs of Ray-Ban Meta glasses, emphasizing the need for a thorough technical investigation. The user stressed that customers shouldn't have to worry about their private conversations being recorded without their explicit permission.
This is particularly ironic given the glasses' popularity among individuals who exploit them for surreptitious video recording, earning them the nickname "pervert glasses." One user even playfully pointed out the irony on Reddit. In response, a Meta spokesperson provided a vague statement saying that the issue has been resolved and that users can manage, review, and delete voice logs via settings at any time.
However, the effectiveness of this response in addressing the privacy concerns of Meta glasses users is yet to be seen.
