Meta is rolling out an update to its AI glasses in response to privacy concerns about unauthorized recording. Alex Himel, the company's executive vice president of wearables, said on Threads that the update will ensure the camera stops working if the indicator light is covered during recording, so bystanders can reliably know when photos or videos are being taken. Previously, users could start recording and then cover the light to bypass the restriction. The news was reported by Ars Technica.
