Zuckoff App Detects Meta Smart Glasses via Bluetooth Signatures

A new iOS app called Zuckoff detects nearby Meta smart glasses by analyzing Bluetooth signals, offering users a way to identify potential covert recording devices. Developed by Polish programmer Pawel Szydlowski, the app has gained 5,000 users since its launch and includes a 'Pro' version that provides background notifications.
