How do phone notifications work with Oculus Quest and Quest 2?
By enabling phone notifications, you can see app notifications from your phone while you’re in VR. Before you begin set-up, make sure the Oculus mobile app is installed on your phone. You can download this from the App Store.
To set up notifications on your phone:
- Open the Oculus App on your Phone, then tap
Devices.
- Tap Phone Notifications, then tap Continue.
- Confirm that the code on your phone is the same as the code shown on your headset.
- Tap Pair, then tap Allow.
- Tap Phone Notifications in VR.
Note: This feature only works for the apps you’ve allowed to show notification previews on your phone’s lock screen. You won’t see notifications for any apps where you’ve turned off lock screen notifications, notification previews or all notifications.
To edit settings on your phone:
- Open the Oculus App on your phone, tap
- Tap Phone Notifications.
To edit settings in-VR:

From here, you can see when and what notifications you’ll receive when you’re in VR.
