Meta lets smart glasses users opt out of visual data training
Meta has rolled out a new setting in its AI app that allows owners of its smart glasses to stop the company from using collected visual data for model training.
New opt-out option available now
The company began notifying device owners about this change with a pop-up message inside the Meta AI app. Users can access the relevant settings page directly by navigating to the glasses menu, selecting Meta AI, and scrolling to the store visual data option.
Requirements for changing the setting
Owners must keep their glasses out of the case and connect them to a phone to modify this preference. If a person owns multiple pairs of devices, they need to repeat these steps for each unit individually.
Impact on specific features
Opting out may prevent users from accessing certain functions such as visual reminders that suggest buying items based on what they see. Meta states that it is currently unclear whether any other features will be affected by this decision.
