Meta Horizon app black screen

The app keeps showing a black screen. My Quest 3 headset, which I just bought, stays on the screen asking me to enter the pairing code to link it to my account, but since the Meta Horizon app is stuck on a black screen, I'm unable to complete the pairing process. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hi Tzipitl​ πŸ™‚

The Horizon app works without issues for me.

Uninstall/reinstall the phone app and see if it works then. 

If you still only get a black screen on your phone, maybe use another phone or a tablet to pair the Quest.

I noticed last night I was getting a black screen when opening the Meta Horizon app on my iPhone. I closed and re-opened the app and then had to wait about 1 minute, then everything suddenly loaded.

PS. I still get that random "device locked" pop-up πŸ™ƒ.
