Meta’s Latest Update Opens the Metaverse to Teens – Here’s What You Need to Know!

Welcomes teens to worlds in the US and Canada, ends invite codes experiment, and more!

Join the Metaverse and explore the exciting new updates in Meta Horizon Worlds v106!

Yo, Meta Horizon Worlds just got a significant update, v106 is live, and it’s bringing in the young bloods! Meta is now opening Worlds to teens aged 13-17 across the US and Canada. Say goodbye to those boring invite codes; things are getting switched up!

With a younger audience comes greater responsibility, so Meta has invested in new safety features, like back-end protections and parental supervision tools, to ensure the youngins stay safe while exploring and creating in the Metaverse.

Speaking of switching things up, Meta is always looking to improve the user experience. With v106, they’re rolling out some significant quality-of-life improvements, like a dialog box that explains why you got kicked out by a community guide and when you can come back in. There have also been fixes for some pesky bugs.

But, of course, a few bumps in the road come with every release. For example, the loading screen might not display text when visiting from a link or loading in from the Meta Quest app. But don’t worry; they’re on it!

Overall, Meta is stoked to keep improving Worlds and make it a more enjoyable and accessible place for everyone. Check out our FAQs below. Got any questions?
