AntiZuck smart glasses detection app

Overview

The iPhone application AntiZuck (also marketed as AntiZuck Smart Glasses Scanner) was launched as a privacy‑focused tool that scans for Bluetooth signals to identify nearby smart glasses and wearable cameras, such as Meta Ray‑Ban glasses, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, RayNeo models and Meta Quest headsets. Priced at US$2.99, it stores data locally, offers proximity estimates, repeat‑sighting memory, and quick‑access toggles.

Within a few days, the app rose to No. 3 on the United States paid App Store chart. Its surge in popularity was linked to growing public concern about covert filming, with surveys showing a majority of Americans deeming non‑consensual recording unacceptable. The ranking reflects heightened demand for a simple way to detect potential hidden cameras in public and social settings.
