Calls on Meta Quest devices and the Meta Horizon mobile app

You can make and receive calls with people and with groups on both Meta Quest devices and the Meta Horizon mobile app. You can only start calls with someone you're connected to.

Note: If you’re 10-12 years old (age may vary by region) with a Meta account that's managed by your parent or guardian, your parent must add someone as an approved contact before you can call them. You can only participate in one-on-one calls.
