Ray-Ban Meta glasses offer enhanced privacy controls for users

Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses offer several privacy settings that users can adjust to control data collection. Users can disable the "Hey Meta" voice activation to prevent accidental triggers and limit Meta's storage of voice interaction recordings. Additionally, disabling "Cloud media" prevents photos and videos from being stored on Meta's servers for up to 30 days, though this may disable features like voice-controlled photo sharing. Users can also opt out of sharing additional usage data, which Meta collects to understand product usage, without impacting core functionalities like calls or music. AI

IMPACT Users can customize data collection for AI-powered features on smart glasses.
