Add apps from APK files to Admin Center for organization-managed Meta Quest devices

Copy link
This article is only applicable to admins with relevant permissions.
To assign an app from an APK file to a managed Meta Quest in your organization, you first need to add the app in Admin Center:
  1. Go to Manage apps in Admin Center.
    • You can also click Apps & content in the left menu of Admin Center.
  2. Click Add app in the top right, then select Externally hosted.
  3. Add details for the app, such as a link to the APK file – this is the link that triggers a direct download of the app.
  4. Click Add app.
You can assign the app to devices configured in Individual Mode (for a device used by 1 person) and Shared Mode (for a device used by multiple people).
As well as private apps, you can also add available Meta Horizon Store apps.
Any apps you add to Admin Center will be scanned for compatibility with Shared Mode. There will be a notice informing you of compatibility in Admin Center. If you add an incompatible app to a Shared Mode device, the app may not function properly.

Choosing appropriate apps

If a Shared Mode device does not require an account, then people have to be 13 years of age or older (subject to applicable legal requirements where you reside) to use it. Ensure you choose apps that are appropriate for anyone who may use the device in Shared Mode.
People have to be 18 years of age or older (depending on the age of legal majority where you reside) to use a Shared Mode device that requires an account. Learn more about age requirements.

Delete an app

If you delete an app from Admin Center, then it will also be deleted from your organization’s Meta Quest devices that use it. To delete an app:
  1. Go to Manage apps in Admin Center.
  2. Click More options to the right of the app, then select Delete app.
  3. Click Delete to confirm.
