Question

Developer mode toggle not appearing

Hi everyone,

I hope you are well. Although the Developer Dashboard shows that both my individual developer account and my developer organization are Verified, the Developer Mode switch is not visible in either the Meta Quest mobile app (Android) or in Settings ▶ System ▶ Developer on my Quest 3 headset. Also I do not share the account I am the primary account holder

 I Have Already 

Created a new developer organization in the dashboard and uploaded the required documents.

The dashboard now shows:

Account Verification:  Verified

Organization Verification:  Verified

 

Enabled two-factor authentication (TOTP + backup SMS).

Updated the Meta Quest mobile app to the latest version.

Confirmed that Bluetooth and Location Services are ON and that the headset appears as Connected in the mobile app’s Devices tab.

 

Environment

Headset: Quest 3

Android

 

Symptoms

Mobile app: No “Developer Mode” option appears under Devices ▶ [My Quest 3] ▶ Headset Settings.

 

Questions

After both the account and organization are shown as “Verified” in the dashboard, is there any additional hidden verification step?

Could Meta staff check on the backend whether my organization’s status has actually propagated to the Quest 3 serial number mentioned above?

Are there any known issues in the latest Quest firmware (v66) or the current Android app build that prevent the Developer Mode toggle from appearing?

 

Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide. Please let me know if you need additional logs or screenshots, and I will send them right away.

If you can see in Settings ▶ System ▶ Developer in your headset, then developer mode IS enabled. There is no on/off toggle.

More so about the meta horizon app on my phone so that i can use things such as sidequest. I go to headset settings> Developer mode> then it gives me a message saying to enable developer mode join or create an organization and then verify your account...i have done all of that including the three verification steps and verify as the account administrator

I gave you the answer already. There are no developer settings in the phone app, even after activating developer mode. That's how it is designed.
