IMPORTANT CHANGES TO OUR POLICIES​
Hi ,

We want to give you more choices over how you express yourself in VR, and to do so we’re making changes to our Meta VR platform in August 2022. Along with these changes, we’re updating our Supplemental Oculus Terms of Service and related Commercial Terms, and Supplemental Oculus Privacy Policy. We’re also updating our Conduct in VR Policy to better reflect the evolution of VR. Learn more here.​

A Facebook account is no longer required to use Meta VR devices. Instead, you’ll need to set up a Meta account, which lets you log into your VR devices and view and manage your purchased apps in one place. You can set up a Meta account using your email address or Facebook account, and as part of the process we’ll migrate your existing VR information (including apps, achievements, and friends) to this account.​

After January 1, 2023, you’ll need to set up a Meta account to continue using your VR device. When you update your Oculus account to a Meta account, the Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Terms of Service and Supplemental Meta Platforms Technologies Privacy Policy will apply to you.​

Shi, are you using App Ads?
 
Bye-bye facebook

I'm going to get rid of my Facebook account as soon as Meta accounts are working.

Significantly you can have more than one Meta account, so I can resurrect my Oculus account I had for my Go for instance. That had some games attached that I _may_ be able to get some Quest upgrades for.
 
But surely FB is META ? Lol

Yes, but you have to remember that a Facebook account has a whole heap of baggage that the Meta accounts hopefully won't have.

The main thing is you can only ever have one Facebook account. If that account goes kaput because you're hacked or you get banned for posting a spicy meme then you can never get another one.

You will be able to have multiple Meta accounts, say one for work and one for personal use with different social profiles. That makes it possible to do work in VR without fearing that some random reports your personal posts, banning you and prevent you from working in VR.

This was always my main issue with Facebook accounts.

I have 3. One proper one, one for work purposes that I've also had for several years, and one for Quest. Never been an issue.
