Meta Horizon Worlds v172 Release Notes

Meta Horizon Worlds V172 is here! This week, we’re expanding the list of world genre tags that creators can choose from to help people understand what their world has to offer, as well as fixing a few minor bugs. Let’s dive in!

The Meta Horizon Mobile App

Last week we announced improvements to our mobile app that enable you to explore easier than ever, right from your phone. You may need to update the app from your mobile app store on Android or iOS to see the latest changes.

What’s new with this update:

• Express yourself with a new dedicated tab to easily customize your avatar.
• Discover and join new worlds from mobile, connecting with friends over games, music, and more.
• Introducing Light mode to give you a more accessible, comfortable, and customizable viewing experience.

Quality of Life Improvements

Creators

• Starting today, we’ve expanded the list of world genre tag options and increased the total number of tags that creators can add to their worlds to three tags per world. These tags will be used to build world descriptors, informing people of the experience they can expect in both VR and on mobile. We’ll be rolling this update out over the next few weeks.
