After backlash, Meta pauses plan to ‘rate limit’ its smart glasses

Meta has paused its plan to charge a $20 monthly subscription fee for the smart glasses feature 'Conversation Focus' due to backlash. The feature, which enhances audio clarity, runs locally and doesn't require cloud access. Despite the pause, Meta still plans to introduce subscription-based features in the future. The Conversation Focus feature will remain free for early testers. Users should continue to monitor updates for the smart glasses.
