Comments on Nearby Glasses for Android

★★★★☆ 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.

★★★★★ Ash Ré · Mar 10, 2026

Thank you for putting the time into developing this! Haven't tried it yet while being out yet, but it looks like it's working on my pixel just fine. We need more tech people working on projects like these!

★★★★★ Amber Willow · Mar 6, 2026

Update: 3/6/26 issues I complained about have been fixed and app is working as intended on my pixel 9 pro folds. As of 2/27/26 the app doesn't work on my pixel 9 pro fold. The settings button is unlickable under the notifications ribbon at the top of the screen and hitting the start scanning button does nothing even after allowing permissions. If this gets fixed I'll change my review to 5 stars

★★☆☆☆ Max · Mar 7, 2026

Tested this while using the glasses and having non-stop notifications makes it not usable you have to have them on too. It does detect glasses even if they're not recording. I get the purpose of this but as I write this review I'm looking right into my cell phone camera knowing there's not much of a point.

★☆☆☆☆ Enikő H · Mar 25, 2026

Tested active every time, even when there were no (absolutely no) glasses nearby

★★☆☆☆ Stefano Galbiati · Mar 8, 2026

The app's purpose makes sense, but it's still too early stage to be any real use in real-life contexts...

★★☆☆☆ Denis DuBois · Mar 12, 2026

Battery suck. Can't be turned on and off without either uninstalling it or switching off Bluetooth.
