A new Android app called Nearby Glasses alerts users if someone nearby may be wearing smart glasses that can record video. The app scans for Bluetooth signals from devices made by companies such as Meta, Oakley, and Snap. The app was created by developer Yves Jeanrenaud. If it detects a signal linked to companies known for smart glasses, the app sends an alert to the user. Jeanrenaud said he created the app after reading reports about smart glasses being used in situations such as immigration raids and harassment cases. The app may sometimes give false alerts. In a test, the app did not detect any smart glasses nearby. However, when a Bluetooth identifier linked to Apple devices was added, the phone quickly received multiple alerts, showing that the app works.
