We\u2019re all wondering how our favourite apps will adapt to this. WhatsApp gave us a glimpse of its metaverse plans when it introduced Avatars last year. Now, in its latest beta version, WhatsApp takes it further by using metaverse hardware with support through linking with the Meta Quest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an upcoming WhatsApp update, users may be able to officially connect their accounts to Meta Quest VR headsets. WABetaInfo discovered this feature while exploring the new beta 2.23.13.6 release. Although the Meta Quest-linked device feature is still in development and no official announcements have been made, a screenshot reveals the progress made so far. The current beta version doesn\u2019t allow testers to try out the link or set it up, it provides a preview of the setup process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some fans have already tried to install WhatsApp on their VR devices, despite the lack of official support. However, this upcoming feature seems as if it will be able to connect an existing WhatsApp account to a Meta Quest device. WhatsApp has been actively exploring linked devices, such as the Android beta 2.23.12.12. One of the devices explored included using iPads as linked devices, growing the platform\u2019s reach even further.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WhatsApp\u2019s journey has only just begun. Significantly, the potential collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MetaQuestVR?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meta Quest<\/a> shows Meta\u2019s ambitions in the metaverse. Soon, hopefully, users can look forward to the new experience this technology has the potential of bringing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\"><\/iframe><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embeds.beehiiv.com\/37fed65e-f01c-4c4c-b8f1-1b71da0be0a4\" data-test-id=\"beehiiv-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border-radius: 4px; border: 2px solid #e5e7eb; margin: 0; background-color: transparent;\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-text__wrapper post-content\">\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>All investment\/financial opinions expressed by NFTevening.com are not recommendations.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This article is educational material.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>As always, make your own research prior to making any kind of investment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/whatsapp-takes-a-step-into-the-metaverse-with-meta-quest-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatsApp takes a step towards embracing metaverse hardware by showing its initial support through linking with Meta Quest.
