AntiZuck iPhone App Detects Nearby Meta and Other Smart Glasses

A new iPhone application called AntiZuck (also marketed as AntizuckSmart GlassesScanner) scans for Bluetooth signals to identify smart glasses and other wearable devices in the vicinity. Developed by Albert Cohen, the app lists detected hardware such as Meta Ray‑Ban glasses, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, RayNeo glasses, and Meta Quest headsets, showing an estimated distance and a confidence rating. It can remember repeat sightings, mute alerts for known devices, and offers widgets and a Control Center toggle for easy access. Priced at US$2.99 on the App Store, AntiZuck stores all data locally on the phone, requires no account and collects no user data. The concept follows an earlier Android tool, Nearby Glasses, which used the same Bluetooth‑Low‑Energy identifiers and has been downloaded over 100,000 times. While the app cannot confirm whether a detected pair of glasses is actively recording, it provides iPhone users with a privacy‑focused way to be aware of nearby camera‑equipped wearables.
