Meta Quietly Adds Facial Recognition Code to Smart Glasses App - tech|
| (hx) 10:19 AM CEST - Jun,07 2026 | 
Meta has embedded dormant facial recognition technology called 'NameTag' into its Meta AI companion app, which powers Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses and has been downloaded more than 50 million times.
Researchers discovered the hidden feature in recent app updates, which can detect faces via the glasses’ camera, create digital face profiles (faceprints), and alert the wearer when someone is recognized.
Meta confirmed the code exists but stated the feature is currently turned off, not available to users, and the company has not decided whether to launch it or build a central face database.
The discovery contradicts Meta’s earlier public statements that it was still “thinking through” facial recognition for the glasses.
Privacy experts and users have raised alarms over potential surveillance risks, especially since the app is required for core smart glasses functions.
The story, first reported by WIRED, highlights growing concerns about how big tech quietly integrates powerful AI features into consumer devices.
