Wondering what's new with Meta Quest? Check out our release notes to learn about the latest new features and enhancements we've made to your Meta Quest experience.
These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of December 9, 2024 and will be pushed to Meta Quest 3, 3S, Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 headsets.
With the new Gallery app, you’ll be able to more easily view, manage, and share your Meta Quest or Meta Horizon Worlds captured media. If you own multiple Quest devices, the Gallery app provides you with access to media you may have captured across all your devices. It will be even easier to view your spatial or panoramic media uploaded media from the Meta Horizon mobile app with a dedicated immersive viewing experience. The Gallery app will be accessible from your Library or linked from within your Camera App.
We’ve made hand tracking more stable and responsive when navigating the universal menu and in apps, making it easier to interact with your hands in mixed reality. The cursor is now stabilized as you pinch your fingers together, so making selections should be more accurate. We also improved the responsiveness and stability of drag-and-drop interactions like dragging a Browser tab into a new window. The cursor should also perform more predictably and naturally when your hands are close to your body. Finally, new cursor visuals should help locating and targeting elements with your hands.
Meta is partnering with Microsoft to make Quest a natural extension of your Windows 11 PC. Later this month, people can preview easily connecting their Quest to a Windows 11 PC. Once you’ve done the initial setup, all you’ll have to do is look at your Windows 11 PC and you’ll be prompted to pair. Learn more to get started.
The new Facebook app for Meta Quest is also getting an update this month. With v72, we’re adding the ability for you to watch your friends’ Stories, as we work to bring the Facebook app for Meta Quest up to parity with its flatscreen counterparts.
Spark conversations with friends in your Instagram DMs on Meta Quest.
We have added the ability for people to turn on live captions with speaker attribution when they are on a call in Meta Quest.
Travel mode now has an indicator on the universal menu to help you know when travel mode is turned on.
We are making improvements to our keyboard tracking for Quest 3 and Quest 3S devices to track more physical keyboards than before. We are moving away from tracking specific keyboard models to a more generalized solution. Additionally, a passthrough cutout will show the keyboard when you’re in the immersive Horizon Home environment, allowing you to work productively in mixed reality. Your virtual hands will be automatically hidden and input ignored when they’re close to your physical keyboard, avoiding interruptions from false interactions. Hand and body tracking must be enabled to see the passthrough cutout appear as you bring your hands close to your keyboard. Additionally, tracked physical keyboards will no longer be supported on Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro. You can enable tracked keyboards by going to Settings, selecting Devices then selecting Keyboards.
Links from windows are now more consistent and predictable, ensuring smoother and more reliable navigation across your experience.
In v72, when booting into VR home, you’ll get an automatic stationary boundary. When users enter a VR App, a roomscale boundary is triggered; you won’t be prompted to find or create a boundary if one is already set up. Meta Quest will automatically detect and use the boundary set up near you.
These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of November 4, 2024 and will be pushed to Meta Quest 3, 3S, Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 headsets.
We’ve redesigned Settings in Meta Quest to be more clearly organized, making it easier for you to find the settings you need. We’ve also improved the Search function in case you want to search for specific settings.
Calendar can help you keep track of your schedules through integrations with Google and Outlook Calendars, as well as entry points to access Horizon Events and Workrooms Meetings.
We made it easier to access Remote Desktop throughout Meta Horizon OS with a new entry point in Quick Settings.
You can now do more with the Meta Quest Link app.
Cast from your headset to the Meta Quest Link PC app, a new way for you to share your Meta Quest experience with others.
Use Meta Quest Link to access Remote Desktop on Quest - meaning you don't need to download the separate Meta Quest Remote Desktop app to access your computer from anywhere on Quest.
We’re extending support for travel mode to be used when on a train.
You can now adjust your call volume, and app and media volume independently from other volume sources. You can find these advanced controls by going to Quick Settings, and clicking on the advanced option right next to the master volume. Learn more about Volume Mixer.
You can now pair a third-party stylus to your headset without using the mobile app. This feature can be found in the Settings app under Devices.
We’ve added real-time permissions indicators to the universal menu so you know which apps are accessing your device. Learn more about permissions.
Send and receive videos with friends and family through Horizon Chats in the Meta Quest app or in VR using your Meta Quest headset. Capture and send videos from your phone's camera roll or from your VR video gallery. Compress videos for smooth playback.
Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Surround will support content utilizing 3 degrees of freedom (DoF) head tracking. This will be supported content on select websites in Browser and we plan to expand to other service providers soon. Learn more about Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Surround on Meta Quest.
Audio to Expression is a new machine perception and AI capability that derives compelling facial motion and lip sync signals from your microphone input. Unlike earlier versions of Lipsync that only animate the mouth, this capability provides upper face movements including upper cheeks, eyelids, and eyebrows to bring full expressivity to your characters. Available as part of the Movement SDK, developers can access Audio to Expression to provide users with enhanced social presence through more comfortable and expressive characters. Even more impressive, Audio to Expression does all of this at a fraction of the app CPU load required by Lipsync, freeing more bandwidth for apps to use to make their app more compelling.
We’ve enabled an in-headset pairing flow for tracked controllers without needing to use the Meta Horizon mobile app.
We’ve improved the camera frame rates to align with your display frame rates.
You will be able to resume space setup by continuing scanning your existing room with updates to the room layout and furniture. You will no longer need to start a fresh scan to keep the room up to date.
You will now see a miniature representation of your scanned environment after completing a scan of the room and when returning to Space Setup to update the scan.
These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of September 5, 2024 and will be pushed to Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 headsets.
Beginning in October, v69 will be required for those enjoying Meta Horizon social experiences such as Horizon Worlds, Horizon Workrooms, and co-presence. Those who have not yet upgraded will be prompted to update to v69 before they can access these experiences.
We’ve introduced a new way to invoke Meta AI by using your voice. When you turn on this feature in Meta AI Settings, you can say “Hey Meta” to engage with the assistant. Learn more about Meta AI assistant.
In v67, we announced a new window layout for Meta Quest that was accessible from the Experimental Settings. Now in v69, this window layout will be turned on for everyone.
Audio from select windows will sound like it's coming from those windows' locations around you, which can provide richer and more realistic audio. This does not affect audio within fully immersive apps.
Take care of visual clutter in your library with the ability to completely remove unwanted apps and worlds, including leftover apps that you’ve already uninstalled. Select “Remove from library” from the app or world’s library menu and make it easier to find and access your content.
You can now quickly pair supported Bluetooth devices like headphones, keyboards, mice, and gamepads when they’re in pairing mode and near your headset. Turn on [Get nearby device notifications] in your Bluetooth settings to get notified when a nearby device is available for pairing, and select the notification to pair.
You can now multitask more effectively by keeping the universal menu and up to three windows open during immersive experiences. This can be used to look up information, watch videos, or chat with friends while staying engaged with your immersive games and apps. Seamless Multitasking can be enabled in Experimental Settings.
Improves contrast and battery life by adjusting the backlight of your headset based on the content you’re viewing.
Your boundary is more dynamic now with frictionless access to Meta Horizon Home. By automatically placing you into a stationary boundary when you visit your Home, you’ll no longer have to repeatedly find or create a room scale boundary. You’ll still be asked to create a room scale boundary when you open immersive experiences that require them.
Improves the behavior of the head tracked cursor to stay hidden when it’s not wanted, such as watching a movie or using 2D apps, and appears when you need it.
You are now able to view the last 7 days of sensitive permission access by installed apps through a new panel within your Settings.
We are making privacy settings easier to use with Meta Horizon Worlds, and simplifying settings for everyone in a few ways:
Tracked stylus devices including Logitech MX Ink can now be used to interact with the universal menu. You can learn how to use it, configure its button mapping, and adjust its pressure sensitivity in Stylus settings.
Escape to the Oceanarium, our latest Horizon Home. Immerse yourself in an underwater world filled with seaweed and anemones that flow with the gentle ocean currents.

These features and enhancements will become available starting the week of July 29, 2024 and will be pushed to Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro and Meta Quest 2 headsets.
We’ve updated the look and feel of the app, added a new Light Mode, and made it easier to socialize and express yourself, even when you’re not in the headset. Jump into worlds, find your next favorite mixed reality experience, customize your avatar and manage your headset, all from your phone.
We’ve also added the ability to start or join audio calls between the app and Meta Quest headsets, so you can chat with friends anytime regardless of which device they’re on.
