ZuckOff App Warns of Smart Glasses Nearby | Tech News

Author: The Daily News Now! September 16, 2026 Duration: 1:23

A Polish developer’s free app, ZuckOff, uses Bluetooth to alert you when smart glasses are nearby—helping combat privacy fears as venues ban them and Meta scrambles to detect hidden recording. It doesn’t reveal if they’re taping or who’s wearing them, just proximity, but a $25 Pro version adds logging and background scans. Meta can’t legally shut it down since it doesn’t interfere with signals.
