Meta Quest Build v47 Release Notes

These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of November 28th, 2022 and will be pushed to Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest headsets.

Background Audio Playback (Meta Quest Pro only)

We’re adding a new experimental feature that will allow you to listen to your favorite tunes or podcast in the background. This will be available on Browser as well as Progressive Web Applications (PWAs).

  • This will be rolling out gradually.

Mixed Reality Capture (Meta Quest Pro only)

Share the magic of mixed reality with friends and family. On Meta Quest Pro devices, you'll now be able to capture photos and videos while using mixed reality in Passthrough.

  • This will be rolling out gradually.

Media Sync

We’re making it easier to view, edit and share your photos and videos you capture in VR. Media will now automatically sync to the Meta Quest mobile app from your headset.

  • You can turn this off by going to Camera settings and disabling the Sync Media to Meta Quest Mobile App setting.

Meta Quest mobile app updates

We’re improving performance across the Meta Quest mobile app and adding new features.

  • You can start, find, and jump into a multiplayer session with your friends directly from the home screen.
  • We revamped the device management screen to make it easier to know when your headset needs to be charged.

Shareable Wishlists

With this update, you will be able to make your app wishlist public and send a link to friends and family. You can modify your wishlist from the Store tab on your headset or the Meta Quest mobile app.

  • Friends and family will be able to directly gift apps from your wishlist.
  • You can also purchase Meta Quest Digital Gift Cards which are redeemable for any app or game in the Meta Quest Store.

View and Edit Avatar in Meta Horizon Home

We’ve added the ability to view and edit your avatar in your Home. You’ll now see your avatar’s arms and hands when in your Home, and if you haven’t created your avatar yet, you’ll see a default avatar. You can also view and edit your avatar by interacting with the new mirror we’ve added to Home. This will be rolling out gradually and will be initially available in 4 environments (Desert Terrace, Space Station, Winter Lodge, Cascadia).

  • In addition, you can now move around in your Home even when the Universal Menu is open. Press your controller thumbstick forward to see a set of potential hotspots, then aim at one of the hotspots and release the thumbstick to teleport.
  • We are also updating the Avatar Editor. This will also be rolling out gradually.

Universal Menu Customization

We want to reduce the time it takes for you to get into the action when you put on your headset. You can now pin and unpin apps from your library to your Universal Menu for quicker access to your favorite games and experiences. Hover over apps in your library and select the vertical three dots button to see the option to pin to your Universal Menu.

  • This will be rolling out gradually.

Accept Follower Requests from Invites

We’ve made it easier to accept follower requests by adding a button to the notification you receive when someone requests to follow you.

Capture Controller Shortcut

You can now capture images and videos using a controller shortcut.

  • To quickly take a photo, hold the Meta Quest button then press the right controller trigger.
  • To quickly record a video, hold the Meta Quest button then long-press the right controller trigger.

Meta Quest Pro Touch Controllers

v47 will also unlock Meta Quest Pro Touch Controllers compatibility with Quest 2. These self-tracked controllers feature TruTouch haptics and fine motor controls like precision pinch motion, joystick, and stylus tip, for even more intuitive VR experiences.

Camera Panel

The Sharing panel where you share captured content from is now called the Camera panel.

    Airlink (Headset also updated) - I had the studders/judders in Home on PC and could not use the PC home on Monday night( Was getting black side lines on the headset - Could not use controllers) . Last Night I tried it again and I could use home on my PC and play games, with some studders. So its not perfect yet...2080TI - 32GB ram - I7 8700K ...   Might have something to do with the Wireless card in the headset.. I see the 5GZ band bars go up to three down to 2 for no reason... The only thing on my 5GHZ band is the headset. As a test I put my PC into wireless mode 5GHZ and the bars are 3 strong at all times (No drops)... I am 20ft from the router... I also have an Airlink cable, but have not used it in awhile...

    Buongiorno,  a me l'aggiornamento v47 ha fatto " sparire" l'opzione fotocamera dal menù sistema, qualcuno ha lo stesso problema? Se si, avete risolto?

    It doesn't matter much anyway now, encoder related sttuters are defenetly fixed at this point, as this "Frame droped due to encoder backup" we were getting all over logs is no longer present (It still kinda is but it's normal as only time it occur during system-wide lag as game loads or something similar).For me personally, it feels much smoother after update, but there still some droped frames, or reprojection for no reason, still the same just not as choppy.

    I'm sure you'll find something else to complain about soon, lol!

    Ok, the much asked about app filter setting appears on my headset. Great, I like it. Set it to updates and click the back arrow which takes you to the all apps display. Click on the filter icon and it makes the last filter select active. Handy to check for updates quickly.

    I restarted the headset earlier today and the filter setting is gone.

    What gives? First the app pinning comes and goes. Now the app filter comes and goes.

    Is it like two or development forks going on and one update wipes out the other?

      So for a brief period the feature to pin apps to the UniMenu was there and gone. Then the App Library filter was there and vanished quickly.

      Now my App Library always defaults to "Updates" view. Sigh, it is bad enough to give and take useful features but then to make old features annoying to use isn't likely to gain much in the way of positive comments.

      I finally got the option to select Installed Apps as a default when I select Apps from the dashboard menu.  This is very nice.  Found it on one of the Quest home quicks settings/settings panels (accesibility I think, hunt around a bit to find it).  Thanks Meta.

      I found the app filter settings were moved to the pesonalizations - app library settings.
