Meta Quest Parental Controls
Meta Quest parental controls run through Meta Family Center. For preteens aged 10 to 12 you create a parent-managed Meta account and approve every app, purchase and connection. For teens aged 13 to 17 you invite them to supervision. You can set time limits, block apps and approve developer mode.
