Meta has integrated facial recognition code into its smart glasses companion app, Meta AI, which has been downloaded over 50 million times. The feature, called "NameTag," can biometrically identify people in view and notify the wearer, storing biometric face data on the user's phone. Although not yet activated for consumers, this move raises privacy concerns about surveillance and biometric tracking without consent. Meta says no final launch decision has been made and denies building a central face database, but digital rights experts warn of risks related to misuse and lack of clear privacy safeguards.
