I have upgraded to V34 and wanted to try out the Android phone notifications on my Quest. You're supposed to initiate the feature by going to the mobile app, under "devices" and enable the "Phone Notifications" option there. My mobile app does not have "phone notifications" under "devices"... just:
wi-fi
controllers
developer mode
[etc]
... am I looking in the right place? I believe I'm on the most recent app version - there no update option in the play store. Any ideas? Maybe the feature isnt available yet for my Galaxy S21?
So I've found a SOLUTION. Had issue where notifications were setup via the Oculus app and still wouldn't show up in the Headset. Tried doing a factory reset but problem wasn't fixed. I tried many things to fix the problem. I've tried disabling all experimental features and that didn't help either. Not sure why the OS is so buggy for such basic features.
In the end I took a picture inside Oculus via the Share icon and then shared that picture with someone via FB messenger and notifications started to appear.
So I just uninstalled/reinstalled, and now I don't even have any options. The app for Android looks UTTERLY different than it did just prior to my uninstalling & reinstalling it.
Good lord, for one of the biggest social media platforms on Earth, you guys REALLY don't know how to write a functional piece of software.

Did yall really just say, "sorry we missed the main point of your issue" then repeat the exact same solution of "go into phone notifications on the oculus app" when the main point of the issue is THE PHONE NOTIFICATIONS OPTION IS NOT APPEARING
I had this problem...I went to the phone settings, notifications and allowed Oculus app, after that uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, open the app, in settings you select the device and it should show up, click on it, allow Oculus access to notifications and it should work...
