A developer has released an app, dubbed “Zuckoff,” that is designed to detect nearby Meta smart glasses by scanning for Bluetooth signals. The creator says the app can identify when compatible devices are in the vicinity and that it has amassed thousands of users.
The reporting highlights growing attention to privacy and how consumers may be notified about being near always-on or connected devices. Business Insider and Yahoo News both describe the app’s basic function—detecting Meta glasses via Bluetooth—and frame the discussion around whether Meta does enough to address privacy concerns. The sources focus more on the app’s existence, usage scale, and the creator’s stated motivations than on technical performance details or any formal response from Meta.
Overall, outlets agree on what the app does and that it is already being used by a large number of people, while the broader emphasis differs: Business Insider particularly underscores the privacy debate surrounding Meta smart glasses, whereas the Yahoo summary repeats the same core facts without adding a separate angle.
