The two platforms will be connected by users thanks to a tool that WhatsApp is developing to link current accounts to Meta Quest. The function is presently under consideration and will be included in the whatsApp upcoming feature.
One of the most widely used instant messaging apps is WhatsApp. To improve the app experience, the platform is constantly introducing new features to its customers. The instant chat service might soon feature Meta Quest.
What is Meta Quest?
The brand-new appellation given to the line of virtual reality (VR) headsets formerly referred to as Oculus is Meta Quest. People may explore new things together while immersed in 3D worlds that are outside of the real world thanks to Meta Quest. A coalition of independent programmers and hardware enthusiasts launched Meta Quest in 2012, and a Kickstarter campaign helped to raise the money for the project.
Whatsapp upcoming feature now supports Meta Quest
WaBetaInfo claims that WhatsApp is planning to integrate support for Meta Quest on Android beta as a paired device. According to the rumour, after the software has been updated to recognise the Meta Quest gadget as an official connected device, it would be able to attach a previous WhatsApp account to one.
The source published a screenshot of the function, showing that Meta Quest may be used as a connected device. According to the article, users will be able to attach Meta Quest to WhatsApp just like they would any other compatible gadget. Additional information is not yet available since the functionality is still being developed.
In an earlier Android beta version 2.22.11.6, WhatsApp enabled capability for connecting Smart Glasses to a WhatsApp account. Last year, Ray-Ban Stories’ hands-free capabilities, which include the ability to conduct calls, hear message readouts, and transmit end-to-end encrypted communications using WhatsApp, were unveiled by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. It is predicted that Meta Quest will get the same characteristics.
The company’s newest virtual and mixed reality headgear, the Meta Quest 3, was introduced earlier this month. The gadget will be introduced in the coming months at Meta Connect on September 27, 2023, according to Meta. For the 128 GB version, it will cost $499.99. Quest 2 (128 GB) is now available for $299.99 thanks to a price drop by Meta.
With a future-oriented Snapdragon CPU created in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, the headset integrates a high-resolution display with pancake optics to provide more than double the graphics performance of the previous model.
Users of Quest 3’s Meta Reality technology are allegedly able to effortlessly merge their real-world interactions with their virtual ones, allowing them to engage with both concurrently. In comparison to Quest 2, the headset boasts a smaller optical profile and new Touch Plus controls.
Another development is that WhatsApp has begun introducing a screen-sharing tool for video calls. Some beta testers who loaded the most recent WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.12.0.74 upgrade from the TestFlight app have access to it, according to WaBetaInfo. Users of WhatsApp are now able to show their screen to everyone on the call thanks to this functionality. When utilising this function, every activity on the display, including updates, will be captured and sent to the individuals currently participating in the video conference.
To prevent unexpected alerts in this situation, it is advised that the “Do Not Disturb” option be turned on. According to the article, the capability will be made available to all customers in the upcoming weeks.
