You can now view Phone Notifications without removing your headset. You’ll receive notifications to your headset from apps you’ve enabled lock screen notifications for on your iPhone.
This feature is for iOS only, but Android support is coming soon.
If you use Oculus with Multi-User Accounts, your notifications will be secured and inaccessible by secondary account holders.
To begin receiving iPhone notifications to your Oculus headset, turn on Phone Notifications from the Devices section of your Oculus app.
File App
You’ll now be able to access, browse, manage, share, and organize files located on your VR device. Additionally, you will be able to download files from Oculus Browser to the Files App and upload files from your device to websites via Browser.
Passthrough Environment Shortcut
You’re now able to quickly access Passthrough through a new shortcut. Use this to set your default Home environment as Passthrough, and switch back and forth between reality and virtual reality. To access this shortcut, look for the Passthrough Home “eye” icon on the Quick Settings menu.
Light Theme
Light Theme is being introduced to Oculus Quest 2 and Quest. You’re able to change the appearance of system features and Oculus apps to a light theme.
To opt in to this experimental feature, open your Universal menu, Select Settings, then select Experimental Features. Choose Display Theme to select between a dark or light theme.
Universal Menu
We’ve redesigned our Universal menu to make it easier to multi-task and quickly access pinned and recently launched apps. You’ll still be able to access core system-level functions like your Settings, Notifications and headset battery level.
Night Display
We’ve added Night Display to your Settings. Now, you can change your display to warmer colors which may be easier on your eyes.
To begin using: With your headset on, open your Universal menu, select Settings, then select Device. Turn on Night Display and adjust the Display Warmth to a comfortable setting.
Record Audio with Headset Mic
We’ve added the ability to record your headset mic audio while recording video in VR. When you begin recording video, your mic audio will automatically begin recording as well.
To stop recording your mic audio, mute your mic in the Quick Actions menu.
I got the v29 update on my Q2 today (not on Q1 though). Takes a while to get used to the new universal menu but seems ok. My only problem with the update is that it shifted my Quest home clock back 12 hours. I tried a few things like using my iphone hotspot but could not get it to sync with local time/date. Finally did a factory reset to get it back. Fortunately I did not have a lot of apps on this since I've mainly been using it with Link and Air Link. Otherwise, everything seems to be working fine.

You've been able to get Air Link to reliably work? Lucky you... it only works maybe one one twentith of the time. If it launches, Air Link is great (and stable). Problem is it keeps refusing to launch, and I don't know why.
Lo, a quest! I seek the threads of my future in the seeds of the past.
@Pixie40 Sorry mate, not sure what I can suggest except to contact Oculus support and send them your log files. Link and Air Link are both working very well with my Q2.
@Pixie40 Hate to make you feel worse but 120Hz refresh just became available with Link. Seems to work very well so far. I’ll try it on Air Link later. The Q2 is getting better and better all the time!
