How To Enable Cloud Backup On Meta Quest

Cloud backup is a handy feature that automatically saves things like your game progress and settings to the cloud. It's important so that when your Meta Quest gets lost or if you decide to reset it to its factory settings, you won't lose your progress or settings.

What Is A Meta Quest Cloud Backup Data?

Cloud backup on Meta Quest ensures that both system settings and app data are securely saved to the cloud. System settings include preferences and configurations specific to your Meta Quest device, such as display settings, audio preferences, and controller configurations.

By backing up system settings and app data to the cloud, Meta Quest users can seamlessly restore their preferences and app data when switching devices or after a factory reset. This ensures a smooth transition and allows users to pick up right where they left off in their favorite apps and games.
