Quest build v39 release notes

These features and enhancements will be rolling out soon.

Virtual Workspace

We’ve added a section to our settings page so you can customize your virtual workspace to fit your needs.

• We’re also adding a mountain study environment complete with snow capped peaks and serene redwoods creating the optimal environment to enjoy peace and quiet while you focus on your work.

Multitasking

We moved all Multitasking features from the experimental settings panel. Soon, everyone will be able to simply utilize multitasking by default. We also added the following new features:

• We've expanded the ability to use side-by-side app windows to additional 2D apps. Previously, side-by-side multitasking was only available through the experiments panel or for Browser via multiple tabs. Now, you can have three side-by-side windows for additional supported apps.
• From the universal menu you can easily switch between multiple windows to launch, focus, minimize, and close any open apps that support multitasking. You can also switch to specific instances for apps that support multi-instance experiences (like Browser).
• We've also made some general multitasking improvements to let you switch between your apps more efficiently.
• Please note, these updates to multi-tasking will be gradually rolling out over time to ensure the best possible experience for all Quest owners.

Feed redesign

We’re redesigning notifications to make it easier to manage both in VR and in the Oculus mobile app.

• In-VR, you can now sort notifications by time or by app.
• In the Oculus mobile app, you can swipe across a notification and tap the Settings Icon to quickly unsubscribe or change notification settings for that app.

Browser

You can now share links from your mobile browser to your headset via the Oculus Mobile App.

• When you share a link, it’ll be opened in Browser the next time you put on your headset.
• We previously introduced this feature to Android devices, and now we're bringing this to iOS devices.
• We’re updating the logo for Browser to better reflect our vision for the product.

User Reporting Improvements

• Simplified the user reporting process, reducing the number of steps required for users to submit reports.
• Added a freeform field for users to add any additional details to their report.
