This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby - 404media (www.404media.co)

The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to be a tiny part of resistance against surveillance tech.”

It worked for me after I looked at the settings screen. I'm not sure why. If it is working, though, the debug box will fill up with a ton of text.

Turn off "debug" in the app settings to stop that & have it only report suspect devices instead of everything it sees.

None of those buttons at the top work either. Possibly because they're behind my notifications bar.

For me it worked to rotate the screen, then the buttons worked.

Same here.

Go to Android Developer Settings > Display Cutout, set it to one of the other options and it should shift the app down a bit so you can access the buttons. (change it back after ofc)

I used "waterfall cutout" but others might work depending on your phone model. Afaik no other fix is possible without the app's code itself being modified.
