Android Authority has reported that some Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses owners are discovering ordinary conversations unexpectedly appearing in their Meta AI history, even though they never used the "Hey Meta" wake phrase or pressed the activation button. The discovery has raised concerns that the glasses may be listening more than intended, prompting worries about privacy among users.
Ray-Ban Meta glasses feature a built-in microphone and AI assistant that can be triggered either by voice using the "Hey Meta" command or by touching a button on the frame. However, multiple owners claim they found recorded snippets of casual conversations in their AI history despite never intentionally activating the assistant. Meta has not yet issued an official statement addressing the issue, though the company is reportedly looking into the reports.
The situation highlights growing privacy concerns as AI-powered wearable devices become increasingly popular worldwide. For tech users in Myanmar, this serves as a useful reminder to carefully review privacy settings and permissions before purchasing or using smart wearable gadgets equipped with always-on microphones and AI assistants.
