Quest 2 not pairing to app

I bought this for my son’s birthday in July 2022, and have never been able to get past the “unable to connect to your headset” page when attempting to pair the headset and the iPad app. Seeing that others have had similar problems, I have patiently waited for a solution, to no avail. Please let me know how this can be addressed. Thank you.

Hey @WaffleEater87! We see that you're experiencing issues with paring your headset to your iPad. We completely understand how inconvenient it is when technology isn't working the way it's intended. No worries though, as we're here to help!

First, we'd like to ask a few questions so that we can get a better understanding of what exactly is happening:

  • Is the headset refurbished, used, or new?
  • What version of the Meta app are you currently on?
  • Are you able to try pairing with a different mobile device?
  • If you're getting an error, please send a screenshot so that we can take a look!

Could you please try the following troubleshooting steps to see if they resolve your issue:

  • Restart both devices.
  • Ensure your mobile device's Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on.
  • Clear the Bluetooth cache on your mobile device:
    • On an Android device:
      • Open Settings and go to Apps.
      • Go to Bluetooth
      • Tap on Storage and Clear Cache.
    • On an iOS device:
      • Open Settings and select Bluetooth.
      • Forget every Bluetooth device in the My Devices list using the "i" icon.
      • Restart your iOS device to clear the cache. After restarting, you will be required to re-pair with Bluetooth devices again.

Feel free to reach back out to us at your earliest convenience to let us know if any of those steps worked or not, and we'd be more than glad to continue helping you!
