Hi..i had quest 2 and have just bought quest 3s..and have set it up - pretty straight forward. So now i want to give my daughter my old headset, in the true sense of the word she is a technophobe..i will get her to install the app on her phone and to setup the headset with her own internet connection. Question 1 - do i have to uninstall quest 2 from my internet connection and from the quest app on my phone? Question 2 i assume when she connects quest 2 to her phone and internet all the apps currently on it will disappear and she can start to DL the ones she wants....cheers

Hi @dug60 🙂
You'll need to factory reset your old Quest 2 so it can be set up with a different account.

After doing that your daughter can set up the Quest with her own account....if she haven't one yet, she need to create an account first.

And yes, after doing a factory reset all apps or data from your account are ereased from the headset.

Hi choleni - many thanks for this - i kinda thought if i did a factory reset on the quest 2 it would wipe out all my apps on quest 3s - not realising it's only the headset data that gets wiped..thanks for the clarification and advice...Dug
