Comments on Nearby Glasses for Android

★★★★☆ Angela Sekulovska · Apr 8, 2026

Can you please describe and provide accurate screenshots of how the canary is supposed to look like if it detects smart glasses nearby? I am a bit confused because beforehand it would write down whether it detected something

★★★★★ Michelle D · Jul 13, 2026

I set a routine so every time I leave my Wi-Fi it automatically opens up, and I just have to press one button to turn on. I set the routine to have a most annoying sound, so it catches my attention but people on social media have been telling me to play copyrighted music Michael Jackson, Disney something like that, so they can't play the video. It was easy simple useful it's gone off multiple times, but I'm on the Vegas strip when it goes off, so it's normal there kind of.

★★★★☆ Bethany · Mar 6, 2026

I can confirm that the UI issues reported by other users have been fixed; the app works great on my Pixel 9 Pro. I tested the app with a friend's Meta glasses, and it works as intended. However, the app needs to be open in the background the entire time it is scanning. If you accidentally close it or your phone's battery management pauses it, it will stop scanning. I think a home screen widget or Quick Settings toggle would improve usability a lot.

Tested with my partners Meta Glasses today. It does not work, unfortunately. Using a Samsung S24

★☆☆☆☆ Jeremy Dunworth · Jun 28, 2026

App does not work. Says it needs Bluetooth and location permissions. Gave it those permissions onmy while using app. Did not give notification permissions. Still won't scan. Uninstalling.

★★☆☆☆ Renee Lesley · Jul 18, 2026

Did not work for me my neighbor was setting next to me in house wearing meta glasses. The app did not pick it up
