We\u2019ve waited for this moment since last October, and as expected, a new <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2022\/07\/meta-accounts-and-horizon-profiles-for-vr\/\">Meta account system<\/a> will become the standard for Meta Quest headsets.<\/p>\n<p>This is a bit complicated, so bear with me. We\u2019re getting\u00a0<em>two<\/em> new things this August\u2014Meta accounts and Horizon profiles.\u00a0Meta accounts are specifically intended for hardware devices, and presumably, they will be required for future products like the Meta mixed reality headset.<\/p>\n<p>But after making a Meta account, you need a Horizon profile to use your Quest headset. This Horizon profile lets you connect with friends, build an avatar, and use a unique username that\u2019s separate from your Meta account.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Meta accounts are\u00a0<i>explicitly<\/i>\u00a0separate from social media. You can create a Meta account using an email address, and if Facebook is already linked to your Oculus headset, you can unlink it this August.\u00a0(That said, you always have the option to link a Meta account with Facebook or Instagram.)<br \/>\n<video controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4a4a4426.gif?format=mp4\" title=\"Animation showing how Meta accounts work.\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\"\/><br \/> <span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.oculus.com%2Fblog%2Fintroducing-meta-accounts-what-developers-need-to-know%2F\">Meta<\/a><\/span><br \/>\nAnd interestingly enough, you can create as many Meta accounts as you desire. You can <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.facebook.com\/help\/quest\/articles\/accounts\/multiple-accounts-and-app-sharing\/?intern_source=blog&amp;intern_content=meta-accounts\">share purchased games or apps<\/a> across several accounts\u2014presumably, this will give users the option to have completely separate Horizon profiles for work, school, gaming, livestreaming, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there are three main privacy options for Horizon profiles. You can leave things \u201copen to everyone,\u201d share with \u201cfriends and family\u201d or go \u201csolo.\u201d More granular privacy options should be available at launch, though I want to note that Horizon profiles use a \u201cfollower\u201d system like Instagram or Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Meta accounts and Horizon profiles launch this August. They are required for all Meta Quest users, and you can migrate your existing account details (even if you have an old Oculus account) to your Horizon profile. (Again, you can disconnect Facebook from your headset this August)<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m fairly satisfied with the new Meta account system, though of course, this is Facebook we\u2019re talking about. If you were concerned about privacy before, you should continue to be concerned.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: Facebook (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2022\/07\/meta-accounts-and-horizon-profiles-for-vr\/\">1<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.oculus.com%2Fblog%2Fintroducing-meta-accounts-what-developers-need-to-know%2F\">2<\/a>)<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
