Meta’s redesigned Quest app puts a big focus on Horizon Worlds

Meta is rolling out a revamped version of its Quest mobile app that links it more closely with its 3D social platform Horizon Worlds. The app, now called Meta Horizon, comes with a new tab that lets you complete quests from your phone and customize your avatar.

You can also use the app to explore and join new worlds, as well as connect with friends in Horizon Worlds, which launched on mobile and the web last September. Meta says the update won’t take away any features in the existing app, and you can still use it to set up your Quest headsets and browse the library of apps in the Meta Horizon Store.

Another small update coming to the Meta Horizon app is the addition of light mode, allowing you to easily swap between light and dark whenever you want. Meta also rolled out a new feed featuring content from creators in the mobile app earlier this month.

The update comes as Meta looks to expand Horizon Worlds and its handle on the VR industry. In April, Meta announced plans to license its headset operating system, called Horizon OS, to companies like Lenovo and Asus. It will also start featuring experimental App Lab titles more prominently in the Meta Horizon Store and is trying to make it easier for developers to bring their mobile games to Horizon OS.
