Meta has resolved an issue that allowed its Ray-Ban smart glasses to record without user prompting, according to the company. Reports from Ray-Ban Meta users on Reddit indicated that the glasses were activating Meta AI and recording audio without the "Hey Meta" wake word being activated, even when it was not enabled. This happened across multiple pairs of glasses, although the LED on the inner frame of the glasses still signaled to the user that a recording was taking place.
Meta confirmed that the problem has been resolved, and users can review and delete voice logs of interactions with Meta AI through settings at any time. The specific cause of the issue has not been disclosed. This comes amid growing scrutiny from users regarding privacy concerns surrounding Meta's smart glasses. As a corrective measure, Meta has rolled out a mandatory update that now disables the camera in the glasses if someone interferes with the LED privacy light.
