Okay, so here’s the deal. Meta’s been tinkering again, giving the Quest this shiny new update — version 77, to be exact. They’re playing around with a new launcher or something. It’s kind of like when you reorganize your kitchen drawers and pretend it’s going to change your life. Also, apparently, 3D Instagram pics might appear on your Quest. Why? No clue, but kinda fun, right?
They hinted at this Navigator thing back in 2024. Finally, it’s here. Think of it as your messy friend who knows exactly where everything is. It’s this central spot for apps, quick actions, and system stuff. So, if you misplace things like I do, Navigator’s supposed to save you. You can pin up to 10 things in your library. Ten! That’s my kind of number. They swear it makes multitasking a breeze, connecting with people and whatever matters to you. Nice thought, if I ever finished a task.
Navigator makes system controls a bit simpler. You know, like those tricky light switches. It’s laid out more like a smartphone now. Oh, there’s this YouTuber, “The Construct,” who’s all over it, showing off tutorials and whatnot.
But Meta didn’t stop there. They’re all like, “Navigator’s crafted from lessons of spatial geekery.” (Kinda poetic, if you ask me.) It’s rolling out slowly to Public Test Channel folks, so maybe you’ll get lucky soon.
And about Insta, it’s getting spruced up with those 3D-ified photos — sounds futuristic, right? Meta’s AI is flipping 2D snaps into immersive ones. It’s their little nudge toward a 3D world. Wild times.
If you’re itching to try all this early, you gotta dive into the Public Test Channel. There’s a whole thing you do with the Meta Horizon app on your phone — go figure. Head to ‘Devices,’ pick your headset, hit ‘Headset settings,’ then ‘Advanced Settings.’ Flip that ‘Public Test Channel’ switch. Easy-ish.
And there you go! Take it for what it’s worth. Cheers!
