I can't follow my friend because The follow button won't show up and I can't find anywhere in settings to enable or disable the ability to stop anyone from following. Please can anyone help me figure this out.

Hey there, @zombie0army!

 

We see you're having some troubles with the app and the follow button disappearing. We can't let something like this happen and interrupt your VR time. We have a couple steps we can take to help get this resolved. When you're ready, attempt the following:

 

  • Make sure our headset is up to date
  • Make sure you app is on the latest update
  • Force close and restart the app
  • Sign out and then back into the app
  • Uninstall and reinstall the app

 

As well, if you try this and that button disappears again, we ask that you please submit a bug report using the steps here. This will be the best way to have our engineers take notice of this issue!

Did u ever get this figured out I'm having the same issue with my niece

Tried all of this and still no follow button on my profile or my friends profile!!! I can add the world but not my friend and they can’t add me. 

Hiya @Igot6siblings! We totally understand how important it is to be able to follow your friends, and we'd love to help! To start, we have a couple questions that may help us determine what could be causing this issue:

 

  • Have you migrated your account into a Meta account?
  • Do you have parental supervision enabled on your headset?
  • Is your headset up-to-date?
  • Have you or your friends recently changed your profiles from Public to Private? (or vice-versa)
  • Are you able to send them an Invite to Party?
  • Can you or your friends see each others Activity or Active Status?
  • Have you checked your blocked profiles?

We hope to hear from you soon!

I am having the same issue as them. I have software up to date, I just did a force reboot to default settings and redownloaded all the apps. They are following me but I can't follow them. I have tried in the Quest Pro, in the app and on the website https://secure.oculus.com/my/people/. However, the website I do have the follow button, but when I click it .. it just spins and then show follow button as if I have not selected it.
