  • If someone covers or tries to tamper with the light, the camera disables itself.
  • Before, the light had to be blocked before recording began to lock the function.
  • Meta has stopped services that helped users tamper with the light because the new system detects it.
  • A woman was unknowingly filmed by a user of the glasses and found the video later on social media.
