Horizon Feed being replaced by Navigator starting in v85
In v85, we’re starting the process to sunset Horizon Feed in VR and shift users to our new UI called Navigator to improve the overall user journey and make exploration in VR more seamless. Navigator lets users quickly access their experiences, friends, and settings, all in one place, for a more streamlined interface. This shift will be starting tomorrow with a small set of test users, and we will be slowly ramping up testing until releasing to all users later this year. What the sunsetting of the VR Horizon Feed means for your worlds: The VR Horizon feed is not a high-intent surface, in that it drives visibility but does not drive as much time spent as other surfaces. With the shift to Navigator, you may see a drop in your top-funnel impressions, but users coming from other worlds discovery surfaces may be more inclined to spend time in a world that matches their preferences. Our past guidance on driving discovery still holds and we recommend reviewing best practices here. Thank you!MisterOsiris1 month agoCommunity Manager2likes0CommentsAccount Security and 2FA Reminder
Hi Creators, To help protect your account and the security of confidential MHCP information, please take the following actions immediately: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on Your Meta Account Securing your Meta account is just as important as securing your Discord. Here’s how to enable 2FA for your Meta account: Go to Meta Account Center and log in. Click on Password and Security. Select Two-factor authentication. Choose your preferred method (Authentication app, SMS, or Recovery codes) and follow the instructions. If your Meta account is linked to Facebook or Instagram, you may need to enable 2FA on those accounts as well for full protection. For more details, see the official Meta 2FA Help Article or your account’s security settings. Stay Vigilant Against Phishing Phishing is a common tactic used by attackers to steal your login credentials or personal information. Here’s how to protect yourself: Never click on suspicious links in DMs, emails, or Discord messages—even if they appear to come from someone you know or have friended. Double-check sender information before responding to requests for personal info or account details. Be wary of urgent or alarming messages that pressure you to act quickly or provide sensitive information. If in doubt, verify by contacting the sender through a separate, official channel. If you receive a suspicious message or believe your Meta (Horizon) account may have been compromised, report it immediately. Read more about what to do in the event your Meta account has been compromised. Why is this important? A compromised account can put your personal information, your worlds, and sensitive MHCP program details at risk. 2FA adds an extra layer of security, making it much harder for attackers to gain access, even if they have your password. Thank you for helping keep you and our community safe!MisterOsiris1 month agoCommunity Manager0likes0CommentsMeta Horizon v250 Release Notes
