Amid public<\/a> backlash<\/a> over its smart glasses, Meta announced<\/a> that it will be updating its glasses with a new feature that will disable the camera when it detects that someone has tampered with or destroyed the glasses\u2019 privacy LED light. The update is meant to address modders who have taken actions such as physically drilling into the LED light<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meta has previously tried to discourage tampering with the LED light. For example, starting with its second generation glasses, blocking the light with tape or other objects will trigger a prompt asking users to uncover the recording light. However, many modders have found<\/a> various workarounds<\/a> for that particular measure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meta\u2019s VP of wearables Alex Himel told The Verge<\/em> that the privacy-focused update was on the way a few weeks ago after launching cheaper Meta Glasses without Ray-Ban branding<\/a>. At the time, Himel acknowledged that the company was aware of increasing misuse alongside wider adoption of the devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
