Mostly True

Meta's AI smart glasses were found to have recorded users' conversations without their knowledge, a privacy lapse the company says it has fixed, according to claims circulating online and reviewed against seven primary sources.

Covert Recording of Conversations

The claim, which spread through online communities, states that Meta's smart glasses secretly recorded conversations between the wearer and people around them, without any indication that recording was taking place. The reports focused on the glasses' ability to capture audio of nearby exchanges as part of their AI-driven features.

Meta acknowledged the behavior and stated that the problem has been resolved, saying "문제 해결" (issue resolved). The company's response is the basis for the assertion that the covert recording flaw no longer persists in current versions of the product.

What Remains Unconfirmed

While the core of the claim — that the glasses recorded private conversations and that Meta addressed the issue — is supported by the available materials, the exact scope of who was affected and how long the behavior lasted is not specified in the sources reviewed. Details on whether any data from such recordings was retained or processed also remain unclear.

The available evidence supports the general outline of the incident: the glasses did record conversations without clear user awareness, and Meta has stated the problem is fixed. On balance, the claim is Mostly True.
