Child’s Meta account suspended – unable to confirm date of birth

Hi, I need help with my son’s existing Meta Quest account.

I received an email from Meta saying that his account had been suspended because his date of birth needed to be confirmed. The email said I needed to confirm his age to prevent the account being disabled.

When I click “Confirm Cameron’s age” in the email, it takes me to Family Centre, but there is no option to confirm his date of birth. Cameron is already correctly listed as a family member under my account.

His Quest is now unusable and displays: “Open the Meta Horizon app to fix a problem with your account.”

I have also tried Meta’s Get Support process, but it repeatedly redirects me to Facebook/Accounts Centre instead of allowing me to resolve the suspension.

I do not want to create a new account or factory reset the headset because there are existing apps and purchases associated with his account.

Hi CuriousHeron5663​ 🙂

Could a Meta Community Manager please help me recover/verify his existing account or contact me privately so I can provide the account details needed?

You must reach out to Meta support.

You can do that via email, chat or WhatsApp HERE

Use an incognito window to follow the link, otherwise the email, chat or WhatsApp option might not shown up.

Unfortunately there are no Meta Community Managers here, just users. The link Choleni​ has given you should point you in the right direction 

Just in case here is also a direct email for Meta Store support. 

mailto:support@store.metamail.com

The link works for me. Do you have a child account set up? The link is to Grace's account. User will have to go to the Family Centre home page on the web and navigate to their own child's account settings.
