Question

Quest 3 pairing problem, no mobile app.

I have a new Quest 3 and am stuck at the "Pair your headset with the META Horizon app to continue. I can't us the mobile app as I don't own a phone. I cannot get to the settings menu, I push the button, get the meta logo for a sec then nothing.

    kurtkuechenberg.2025​ you need to borrow a phone for a few minutes just to get the headset set up. An android tablet or iPad will also work.

      OK, I will try that. To return it will be a problem, I cannot use USPS because of regulations, I can't ship because it has a lithium battery, and they are the only game in town for me, no Fed Ex, etc. I will try and see what happens, thanks again.

      I got it! The phone I was using did not have Locations turned on. Once I got that set it paired no problem, gotta' say I have never used VR before, what a profoundly weird experience, this will be fun once I get used to it. Thanks for the assistance, I appreciate it!
