WhatsApp users will soon be able to read messages and make calls in VR with Meta Quest

Once you link your existing WhatsApp account to Meta Quest, the virtual reality headset will show up in the list of connected devices. This means the upcoming feature might use the recently introduced Companion Mode that lets users use one WhatsApp account on up to four devices.

While it is still unclear how the integration will work, speculations suggest that it might be similar to the hands-free feature for Ray-Ban stories, which automatically reads messages and lets users make end-to-end encrypted calls. The feature is currently under development, so we will have to wait a while before being able to see how it works and what functionalities it brings to the table.

Earlier this month, just days before the launch of Apple’s Vision Pro Mixed Reality headset, Meta announced Quest 3, the company’s most affordable mixed reality headset for $499.
