I’ve been in the Meta Quest ecosystem for years, starting with the Quest 2 that I bought in the U.S. for about $250 on Black Friday. Later, I upgraded to the Meta Quest 3 here in Europe. I purchased the 512GB model at full retail price from Coolblue, which was close to €700 with no discounts. Because of that investment, I expected a polished, next-generation VR experience. Instead, the device feels restricted in ways that make no sense for its price or its potential.To bring friends into VR with me, I gave my Quest 2 to a friend so we could play together. He didn’t enjoy it and passed it to his brother, and now I’m the one trying to convince his brother to use it. I then bought the same friend a Meta Quest 3S, hoping a newer model would change his mind, but he lost interest after a few months and gave it back to me. That says a lot about how empty the ecosystem feels. If Horizon Worlds had more depth, better tools, stronger communities, and easier ways for creators to flourish, people

With this update:You can’t pin apps to the bottom toolbaryou cannot have your library open and settings open at the same timeyou have fewer apps on the library screen because they are spaced obnoxiously far apartapps from unknown sources cannot be pinnedyou can’t find the screenshot and video record button by pressing the menu button in an appSometimes the quit app button doesn’t even appear when you press the menu button. Sometimes a tooltip pops up telling me that I can quit an app anytime, but the tooltip doesn’t go away and ironically prevents me from quitting the app.Opening the menu forces see-through to be dimmed.This UI redesign is worse than what Microsoft did to Skype. I have never wanted to smash a piece of hardware more than I have after dealing with the new UI.

We have 2 new tabs on our forum profile page: "under review" and "rejected". One of my posts(2 months old) was rejected - there was no reason for that, it was apparently done by mistake.......... it has now been approve. 🙃 The thing is, there wasn't any notification via PM - I know it used to be like that - that the post had been deleted..... I just noticed it by chance a few days ago. This hasn't just happened to me, so it's maybe a good idea for everyone to check their profile page for any mistakenly rejected posts and if so, contact one of the mods for reviewing those posts again.🙂    

Seriously, I don't know how you guys manage it, but literately EVERY TIME I put on my Quest 3, try to link to Steam and want to play a bit it takes more then half an hour to get it working, I get updates, on the controllers, on the headset, oh wait also on the Meta Link Quest on PC app and when in finally is done, the audio from Steam doesn't work, or the headset can't find the computer or the link won't work or, or, or......Now I'm not a hardcore gamer, I do it to relax sometimes, but I won't relax, I can't game for half an hour, I'm wrestling myself through a gazzlion unwanted options, main focus my Avatar, because it seems that my Avatar is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing in the Metaverse, new looks, new clothes, new something that seems to be really important, but you know what, I really don't care a single bit about that whole avatar/connect with friends/here's a mirror to see yourself stuff...Because I like to game for like half an hour before bedtime, but now I'm done with it, this is

Where is the quest 3 feature request list? The new user interface is great. However, what most customers would want is customizations and personalization. My pet peeves are listed below. the dock is completely unnecessary now. They need to remove it and just allow an option to snap screens near currently open screens.They need to add an option to curve those screens without going into Focus viewAdd vr Loft customizations. 90% of enjoyment would be customizing and working in your own personal vr home.the new menu is good, but intrusive. stops YouTube videos,interupts other workflows and takes up the entire screen. just open it on the side.

Here's a video that may answer some questions and give some tips on the use of the new UI.    https://youtu.be/EOvrLggvTsg?si=grh4rRQDYz8Udat1  

     It has occurred to me the worst possible thing currently, new newest menu, i despise it. The newest menu for i and many other user i spoke to beforehand all mention the same circumstance, "its laggy", "the orginizations aggrivating", "it hurts my mind", and many other sorts.     The most common struggle is the lag dropping, one user claims "i never wanted to go back to my Gameboy after this new update, it feels like i crash instead of play!" Recent concerns of lower framerates is not something to skip, lag is a gamer and developers nightmare, it only destroys enjoyment and pleasure. Other evidences to the lag is a speculation of tabs and library are loaded near the same time, causing the lag, and the extra steps to just reenter a game, all horrible signs of no functionality.     Another secondary caused by the newest navigation menu is the orginization and mind disturbance. 'the orginization style is clunky and aggrivating, and it simpl

I have wanted to be able to walk around my house watching YouTube with a floating window since I bought the Oculus Quest 1.... We are now on the Meta Quest 3, and I still can't achieve this goal. I have been told it was a feature, then they removed it..... Why on earth was this revoked from us before I got to use it? I would take a loan out in my own name for however much money you need to add this feature. I am so sick of walking around my house carrying my YouTube.... It's so annoying, and I want to know, am I the only person in the whole world who wants this but can't have it? I'm trying so hard to wait... I reached out to Meta in 2025 and was told it's coming. What am I missing that makes this feature so hard when all their UI pop-ups do this by default... I can't take no for an answer with this, and I want to be heard....

"Hi Meta Support, I'm having a frustrating experience with my Meta Quest 3. I'm getting 'meta auth token' errors with every game, and support isn't listening. I've tried factory resets, software updates, and provided all the info they asked for, but they just keep asking for the same things. Can someone please take a closer look and help me out? I've been trying to fix this for weeks."

I apologize for the stupid question but how can i delete my replies under a post here?!

we should be able to play games that we have on horizon+ available on the horizon link app as well. i've tried to stream through the casting website and man it's buggy. can we please fix this. i shouldn't have to buy games in order to use the link app for pcvr gaming

Hey meta!although this feature is enabled on WhatsApp, it would be a great deal if introduced to Instagram as well!! Would really appreciate it. Atleast on WhatsApp we can choose our contacts but on instagram we cant and many people misuse pictures nowadays. PLEASEEEEE METAAAA BRING THIS FEATUREE ON INSTAGRAMMMM. thankyou :p

I've been feeling so nostalgic and sad lately, I really want those videos back. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi all,When setting up my meta for the first time, my friend sent a referral link to get $50 of Meta store credit. I clicked on the link and it straight away said it was invalid, we retried it again with the same error. Neither of us got credited for it and haven’t been able to find any info on it.any help is appreciated 🙂!  

Dear Meta Product and Environment Teams,As a long-time user who has used the platform since Quest 2, I want to report to you that I now use Quest 3S but I need you to bring back Desert Terrace because I like your new hardware. The environment served as essential shelter for numerous users because the "Help and Tips" tutorial backdoor provided access to it until the most recent time. The system still maintains operational capabilities which enable use of this environment but developers need to create a formal connection to the Scenery menu. I propose a straightforward "Heritage Edition" update which needs you to increase the resolution to 4K so that it matches Quest 3 lens clarity. It would also look much cleaner and sharper on the Quest 3S and the Quest 2. I noticed that the environment contains an Oculus logo on a door, which you could replace with the Meta Infinity logo. I suggest this because I understand and respect that the brand has fully transitioned to Meta, and updating the lo

  WHY SHOULD WE KEEP META HORIZON WORLDS IN VIRTUAL REALITY? Proposal by Apple Loving IndividualMarch 22, 2026   Introduction In March 2026, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Horizon Worlds would be removed from all Meta Quest VR headsets as part of a shift toward a mobile‑first strategy (Murti). The decision surprised many long‑time users, especially given that Meta originally introduced the metaverse vision in 2021 with Horizon Worlds as its flagship VR experience (Milmo). That announcement was so central to Meta’s identity that the company rebranded from The Facebook Company to Meta Platforms, signaling a long‑term commitment to immersive virtual reality. The abrupt reversal has sparked widespread concern among VR users, creators, and social‑world communities. Many argue that prioritizing mobile over VR undermines the core purpose of the metaverse: to provide an embodied, immersive environment that cannot be replicated on a flat screen. For countless users, Horizon W

Okay so I tried using my card to buy games right and it didn't work so I tried a couple more time, but it was getting late so I couldn't go to Walmart, and then the next day I went to Walmart so I could get a meta gift card, so now I'm excited to buy games but na, I redeemed the card now the money is on my account but when I go to buy a game it stillllllll doesn't let me no matter what I try to do.

Please file an appeal to get your case reviewed.Can someone pleaseee help meeee??😭😭😭

Is there a way to request these documents from Meta? Need this for compliance reasons...Thank you, all!

What went wrong? It's an interesting concept, however, how did Meta end up spending 70B in this project? Using the metahuman, I myself built a whole pipeline that skins and copies blendshapes without much effort. Meaning that clothing and accessory creation became very trivial. There is a character creator and everything. Like, how? What in the Metaverse cost all that? Servers? Partnerships? AI costs? Honestly I believe since the avatar system exists, Meta should focus on cross-platform implementation and integration. Similar to metahumans but you actually give the developers the whole Avatar system for licensing. Games could be built around the system and people could pay a percentage of the profits to meta while also letting people keep a consistent avatar across several games that are built with it because Meta provides it. Meta would have to barely do anything to make this feature grow if they made the system available to developers. And... Maybe,

GOAL: When user connects a keyboard of anykind, virtual keyboard stops popping up  DETAILS:  Currently, when you use a keyboard, and you click in a field, you have to constantly click-exit the virtual keyboard overlay. There is NO setting to deactivate this. In android mobile, when a keyboard is used, the virtual keyboard stops popping up. What makes it worse is that depending on the angle of your head position, this virtual keyboard will literally block my view of window I have open. It is incredibly annoying and frustrating.  NOTE: if you accidently hit "x" in the virtual keyboard, you end up wiping all text. So you have to be careful to hit the RIGHT "x".  [edited for privacy - this is a public forum]  

Hey everyone! I’ve been a long-time VR enthusiast, but I’ve recently taken a bit of a weird detour in my tech journey. I’ve always been curious about using enterprise-grade hardware for home entertainment, so I recently picked up a refurbished ProLiant DL360. It’s rocking a 14-core 2GHz Xeon, and on paper, the multi-threaded performance for things like video encoding and server hosting is incredible for the price. However, I’ve run into a bit of a roadblock while trying to set this up as a dedicated "headless" PCVR station for my Quest via Air Link. The specific point I’m struggling with right now is the physical constraint of the 1U chassis. While the 14-core Xeon is a beast, trying to fit a modern, VR-capable GPU into those tiny PCIe riser slots is like playing a very expensive game of Tetris. I’m finding that most cards either exceed the height limit or require more power than the internal proprietary cables can easily provide. In my personal experience, I’ve always built standard m

Hi I had an email to verify my age - but when i log in via the link it just brings me to account details- cant see anywhere to verify age or upload ID etc.

Ode to the Questlandia ChroniclesIn the bustling bazaar of the Meta Quest boards,Where confusion and chaos earn equal awards,Lives a cast of bold users with tales so surreal,You'd swear half their posts were a Netflix reveal.There's the hero who washed their poor headset on high -Tumbled, rinsed, and spin‑cycled like laundry gone awry."It's broken!" they wailed, with indignant despair,As if Meta had snuck in and shoved it in there.Another brave soul, with a tale just as grim,Dropped a controller in the toilet on a whim."It's Meta's fault too!" they proclaimed with a roar,Though gravity's been doing this job long before.Then come the reports of mysterious crackles -Phantom speaker noises, imagined sound battles."Do you hear that?" they ask. "It's a sinister glitch!"While the silence around them refuses to twitch.And of course, the grand theory that never grows old:A firmware conspiracy, cunning and bold."Meta sabotaged my headset!" they cry in distress,As if engineers lurk in the shadow

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone else in the UK is experiencing delays with Meta AI and accessibility features on Quest devices. These features seem to have been rolling out for quite a while, but they still don’t appear to be fully available in the UK. For example: - Meta AI is still not available- Accessibility features like dictation (UK version) are missing- Accessibility tools do not seem widely available I’m also experiencing some issues on Quest OS v72 (2.1 interface): - I previously had Navigator (v87)- After an update Navigator disappeared- I still do not have access to the new interface So currently I seem to have:- No Meta AI- Missing accessibility features- Navigator removed- No access to the new interface Is this still region locked for the UK or part of a slow rollout? Has anyone else in the UK experienced Navigator disappearing after updates? It would be great to hear from other UK Quest users to see if this is a wi

I understand that the Quest 3 is manufactured in China and Vietnam.Does anyone know how we could obtain a Certificate of Origin for this product?
