Hence your Meta account will no longer be dependent on any of your social media accounts. The only thing that you’ll now need to set up your Meta account is a simple email address. And you are good to go! This unnecessary link of Quest 2 with a Facebook account made the users uneasy for a very long time. For those who don’t know, Facebook announced way back in 2021 that they’ll bring about this update soon. But it took them long enough!

With this new update, Meta Quest 2’s price has also increased by $100! So, that is a bummer for those who were planning on buying the new headset. 

Not almost every Meta user has received this update. It is gradually coming out. So, you’ll have to remain patient. Of course, there are drawbacks as well. Your information will still be with Meta! Users have always been suspicious of Meta’s privacy concerns. Even though you don’t need to login through a Facebook account anymore, it still asks for you to log in through some other source. So, this means that your data is still with them! This might upset the users more in the future. What are your thoughts regarding this? Let us know in the comments below!

If you previously had an Oculus account, then you must have received an email telling you about this latest update. Through the link in the email, you’ll get access to the update. If this is not the case for you, then you can check the Meta blog page! If you’re planning on making a new account, then you’ll see the new login process as soon as you open the Oculus app. Then you’ll have an option to either link your account to other social media platforms or just sign up with your email address. And if you already have an account which is linked to your Facebook profile, you will soon get the option to remove it!
