Users complain: Meta's smart glasses reportedly keep recording even in sleep mode

Owners of Meta's smart glasses report that the device may start recording in sleep mode too, raising privacy concerns.

✨ What happened

Some users of Meta's smart glasses say the device keeps recording video or audio even when it is set to sleep mode. Yahoo Tech reports this.

The users themselves describe the situation as puzzling. That is why privacy concerns have arisen online: a person may think the glasses are off, while in fact they may be capturing their surroundings.

📌 Why it matters

Smart glasses look like regular glasses, so individual people or their conversations can end up in a frame or recording without those people knowing. This affects both your privacy and the privacy of those around you.

It is not yet clear from the short news description whether Meta has confirmed these reports or what exactly it explains about how sleep mode works. It is worth following the company's official response.

🔹 What you can do now

If you have such glasses, check the privacy settings and recording indicators. Turn off features you don't use, and don't leave the device where others' conversations could be recorded.

It is also worth remembering: if you or someone nearby is recorded without consent, it may become a privacy issue, so tell people when the device is switched on.
