Meta patches smart glasses loophole that let users secretly record after covering LED

Meta is updating its Ray-Ban smart glasses with a privacy fix that stops the camera from functioning if the LED indicator light is covered mid-recording.

The patch was announced by Meta's VP of Augmented Reality, Alex Himel, in a post on Threads. The update addresses growing privacy concerns that had earned the glasses a negative reputation among critics.
