The new quest ui is terrible
so the new ui just came out for meta quest and its the most annoying overly complicated ui i have ever had the displeasure of dealing with anyone know any way to reverse it or suggest they change it back or at least give us the option to choose berween the old and new one its extremly annoying i know along of people feel the same way i have to slide thru like 9 tabs to locate an app i used to be able to see on one easy to slide screen and trying to open the call im on is like a 25 step process vs just clicking on one button on my quick menu please reverse this or give us the option to choose between the 2 or customize it
Allow users to close the Application, currently its worse than some actual malware
For gods sake, allow me to close this stupid application without having to manually disable the services in the windows config. Do you not want less technically skilled people to even be able to use the application or what? I can figure it out and have had to write a powershell script that sets the services each time i want to use meta horizon link. Why do you even make it non functional? Is this so you can gather as much data as possible? its 100% purposeful. Sketchy as **bleep** and you shouldn't get away with it over and over. Worked on software my whole live and I've never seen an application that's so inaccessible or forces services to reset to automatically start, overwriting windows configuration when you boot. Here's a hot tip for the dev team, if the user right clicks/exits the app from the windows icon view, close the service and app like... you know.. every other program in existence.The Meta Quest 3 Has Incredible Potential, But Meta Keeps Holding It Back
I’ve been in the Meta Quest ecosystem for years, starting with the Quest 2 that I bought in the U.S. for about $250 on Black Friday. Later, I upgraded to the Meta Quest 3 here in Europe. I purchased the 512GB model at full retail price from Coolblue, which was close to €700 with no discounts. Because of that investment, I expected a polished, next-generation VR experience. Instead, the device feels restricted in ways that make no sense for its price or its potential. To bring friends into VR with me, I gave my Quest 2 to a friend so we could play together. He didn’t enjoy it and passed it to his brother, and now I’m the one trying to convince his brother to use it. I then bought the same friend a Meta Quest 3S, hoping a newer model would change his mind, but he lost interest after a few months and gave it back to me. That says a lot about how empty the ecosystem feels. If Horizon Worlds had more depth, better tools, stronger communities, and easier ways for creators to flourish, people wouldn’t walk away so fast. The biggest problem with the Quest 3 is how creator-unfriendly it is. Streaming to YouTube requires workarounds, third-party apps, and unnecessary steps. Streaming to Facebook is the only direct option, yet very few people use Facebook for live content anymore. The strangest part is that Meta owns Instagram, yet there is still no way to stream directly to Instagram from inside the headset. There’s also no simple option for TikTok, even though VR content performs extremely well on TikTok. If Meta wants VR to grow, they need to empower creators, not limit them. Right now, creators have to fight the system just to show people what VR can do. Inside Horizon Worlds, the gaps become even clearer. VRChat already allows avatar streaming, virtual selfie cameras, expressive tools, and full creative freedom. Horizon Worlds should be leading the industry, not lagging behind it. Instead, it often feels limited, closed off, and inconsistent. Many sessions are filled with trolls, children, and chaotic interactions that make the platform frustrating for adults who bought the device to relax, socialize, or create. Meta needs stronger moderation tools, age controls, and better systems to keep Horizon enjoyable for adults. Productivity is another area that needs improvement. I work remotely, so I wanted to use the Quest for work tasks, but Meta Workrooms and Meta Remote Desktop feel restricted. I had to buy Virtual Desktop just to get the proper functionality. A third-party app should not outperform Meta’s official version on Meta’s own hardware. This shows how much the ecosystem is still unfinished. Even accessories fall short. I bought the Meta Pen (the Logitech stylus collaboration) expecting a deeper creative experience, but many apps don’t correctly display the pen and instead show the standard controller. This breaks immersion and makes it feel like the pen was added to the lineup without developers being prepared to support it. The overall user experience feels inconsistent. Avatar consistency is another issue. Some apps show the updated avatars while others use older versions. This breaks the feeling of a connected metaverse. If Meta wants a unified VR identity system, avatars need to be consistent across all apps, not left to chance. One of the biggest concerns I want to warn buyers about is the replacement process. My original Meta Quest 3 had a strap loop break, so I sent it in expecting a repair. Instead, Meta replaced the device. Normally that would sound positive, but the replacement was not equal in quality. My original Quest 3 had a very clear and sharp screen. Every replacement I received was noticeably blurrier, almost like a downgrade. It felt like Meta was sending refurbished units of lower value instead of matching the premium device I originally purchased. This should not happen to customers who pay full price for a flagship headset. Meta keeps focusing on building the “next headset,” but they are ignoring the problems with the one they already sold to millions of people. The Quest 3 has incredible hardware and could be the strongest VR device on the market, but Meta needs to unlock its potential. They need to improve streaming, open up creator tools, unify avatars, fix Horizon Worlds moderation, push out affordable Quest 2 inventory to grow the user base, improve Workrooms, make the Meta Pen properly supported, and ensure replacement devices match the original quality. I’ve invested time, money, and belief into this platform. I’ve bought multiple headsets for myself, friends, and their family members, and even then, the ecosystem is not strong enough to hold their interest. That’s not a hardware problem. It’s an ecosystem problem. Meta can fix this if they prioritize the users who already believe in their vision. The Quest 3 could be incredible, but Meta needs to stop limiting it and start listening.
Navigator reversion
It has occurred to me the worst possible thing currently, new newest menu, i despise it. The newest menu for i and many other user i spoke to beforehand all mention the same circumstance, "its laggy", "the orginizations aggrivating", "it hurts my mind", and many other sorts. The most common struggle is the lag dropping, one user claims "i never wanted to go back to my Gameboy after this new update, it feels like i crash instead of play!" Recent concerns of lower framerates is not something to skip, lag is a gamer and developers nightmare, it only destroys enjoyment and pleasure. Other evidences to the lag is a speculation of tabs and library are loaded near the same time, causing the lag, and the extra steps to just reenter a game, all horrible signs of no functionality. Another secondary caused by the newest navigation menu is the orginization and mind disturbance. 'the orginization style is clunky and aggrivating, and it simply hurts my eyes and head' , claim multiple users, and they couldnt speak with any more truth about it! the formation of the navigation is equally aggrivating to the mind and eyes, it looms disorienting and feels lost to the brain. A finality of succumbing issues to a problem is the suppression to change it. In modern updates, the option to change it is absurd iin ts own form, with a support specialist, Omar, claiming 'its for anew modern and smoother evolution' which doesn't even preform such. Many users, along with myself claim "it is foolish that you cant change to the original menu? they need to bring that option back", this all a great deal, since this is major suppression to a freedom of choice. Imagine the fact you hate the feature, and cursed to never even change it, sounds nightmarish, for it is. A terrifying reality to terms, you can never rechange it unless the many speak up Alas, of all, in chaos and obstruction aside, how are ww, the people capable to speaking up about this? A highly popular answer is to rise the issue, speak more of the topic, make it heard. But truly, is the new update a step up to modern stasis, or a way of forcing ideas?Hello guys WhatsApp!!

Found Meta Glasses
I found a pair of Meta glasses at the beginning of the year, and I would like to find the owner. I’m just not sure how at this point. I’ve tried contacting support and the automated chat said it’d send the info I have to the support team. But is there any other way someone might know of to find the owner information with the glasses? im a tour guide, so i mostly have people out of state/country on my tours so so posting on local forum could be a dead end, though I am in a stop where a lot of locals visit, the location they were makes be believe it was someone who took my tour but I contacted all of them and no one said they forgot anything. I just really want to find the owner
Missing my virtual homes after update
I updated my quest over night and was shocked my virtual environments all are missing. Is there a way back? I don’t like the new ones especially in the foreground as they are not realistic, they don’t blend in, design from foreground to background is not aligned. Sadly it’s not a quality update. I miss my original home environment, the dome - that was my first introduction to VR and I dearly miss it! I miss my winter lodge, my balloons, my Japanese home, my space station, my very cyber punk futuristic apartment, my hobbit cave, my mountain campfire, my forest lodge … Depending on the mood you could change them, now I feel a bit lost with the low quality environments (especially in the foreground) and my old themes missing. I would have never updated had I know the environments will be gone. Is there a way back? A hidden menu? Are there plans to integrate the old environments?
