Troubleshooting
For photos and videos to sync from your headset, your headset needs to be on and idle. The sync will fail if you open another app, if your headset disconnects from Wi-Fi or if your headset turns off.
Larger files can take longer to sync. Videos taken from your headset that are over a minute long need to be individually synced.
Note: Media will not take up space on your phone unless you download it from the Meta Horizon app.
