That count describes the access the app requested in the analysis; it does not show that Meta misused any data.
How Meta compares with the other six apps
Cybernews published its comparison on October 6, 2026, using permission data from Exodus Privacy. The accessible article identifies these leading totals:

| App | Total permissions | Dangerous permissions |

| Meta AI | 70 | 18 (26% of its requested permissions) |
| Even Realities | 61 | Not stated in the accessible Cybernews article |
| Solos AirGo | 55 | Not stated in the accessible Cybernews article |
| Hi Rokid | 53 | Not stated in the accessible Cybernews article |
| Halliday | 32 | 12 (38% of its requested permissions) |
Cybernews also assessed RayNeo and INMO, but the accessible article does not provide their total or dangerous-permission counts. Its comparison does not disclose the exact app versions or the date of the Exodus Privacy data snapshot, so these figures should be read as the published analysis, not as a count verified for current releases. Cybernews’s comparison
What Android means by “dangerous permission”
Android uses “dangerous” for runtime permissions that grant an app access to restricted data or actions with a more substantial effect on the system or other apps. Android Developers explains: “Runtime permissions, also known as dangerous permissions, give your app additional access to restricted data or let it perform restricted actions that more substantially affect the system and other apps.” Apps request these permissions at runtime, and they can involve private user data. The classification identifies an access category; it is not a finding of misconduct. Android Developers: Permissions on Android

Cybernews names external-storage reading, SMS access, and audio recording among Meta AI’s dangerous permissions. A count by itself does not tell you whether a particular permission is necessary for a feature, how often it is used, or whether data was mishandled.
Permission totals are only one part of privacy
The comparison reports differences across several other measures; none should be mistaken for an overall safety ranking.

Detected trackers
Exodus Privacy data showed six detected trackers each for INMO Global and Solos AirGo, none detected for Hi Rokid, and one for Meta: Facebook Flipper. Cybernews describes Flipper as Meta’s own debugging tool, rather than a third-party advertising or analytics SDK. “None detected” means none appeared in that audit; it does not prove an app has no tracking.

Recording indicator response
Cybernews reports a confirmed response to covering the capture LED for Meta and Rokid. For Meta, the report says a software update stops recording when the indicator is covered. This is a specific reported safeguard, not a resolution of every recording or privacy concern. Cybernews also reproduced a statement attributed to Meta VP Alex Himel: “keep rolling out updates like this to make sure the capture LED can reliably alert bystanders when photos or videos are being captured for someone’s gallery.” Cybernews’s report on the capture-LED update

Cloud processing and retention
In Cybernews’s analysis, all seven apps used cloud processing for AI features; none ran core features such as voice, translation, or image analysis locally on the glasses. The report says five brands did not specify a retention limit for the data types it examined. Even Realities disclosed immediate deletion by default for captured voice, while Meta specified retention periods ranging from 30 days to a year for some data. Those disclosures concern the data and scope described in the analysis, not necessarily every kind of information an app may handle.
Privacy documents
Cybernews found that Meta, Rokid, and Even Realities had a privacy document specifically for their glasses. INMO and Solos addressed the glasses in a dedicated section of a general company policy; RayNeo and Halliday relied on generic company-wide policies without a specific glasses mention.

What the comparison can—and cannot—tell you
Cybernews says its nine criteria drew on public sources, including privacy policies, product pages, and independent reviews, and scored each from 0 to 2: 0 for weak or no protection, 1 for partial protection, and 2 for strong protection. The accessible article does not provide the full brand-by-brand permission table or detailed scoring for all nine criteria. It also does not identify the exact glasses models or companion-app versions assessed. The results therefore support a comparison of the published findings, not a claim that a particular current model or app has been tested here.
If you use Android, you can review app permissions in your device’s Settings and deny permissions you do not want to grant; menu labels vary by device and Android version. Consider whether a permission makes sense for the feature you intend to use, and remember that denying one may limit that feature. Permission choices do not, on their own, establish where every AI request is processed or how long every data type is retained.
