✦AI Summary
Meta has paused its plan to charge a subscription fee for the 'Conversation Focus' feature on its smart glasses following user backlash. The company maintains that some premium features will eventually be subscription-based but is re-evaluating its approach to rate-limiting local features.
Remember when Meta was planning to charge a $20 monthly subscription fee for the smart glasses feature that lets people hear each other more clearly — even though that feature runs locally on your glasses and doesn’t require the cloud? Meta has paused those plans, spokesperson Tyler Yee confirms to The Verge.
