AI Summary

Detector apps can spot Meta’s smart glasses and similar wearables by detecting their Bluetooth signals, but only when the devices are turned on, within range and actively broadcasting. Like earbuds that appear in a phone’s Bluetooth menu, smart glasses emit short broadcast signals that nearby phones can receive. Apps such as Zuckoff scan for signal patterns matching known glasses models and issue an alert when a matching device is detected nearby.
