Since Meta updated the Android file scoping rules on Quest headsets, directly moving files on the device has become more difficult. The most reliable way to sideload mods is by using a computer or an Android smartphone. Method 1: Using a PC via USB Cable (Most Reliable)
is the act of installing software (applications, files, or patches) onto a device without using the official app store. For Android-based headsets like the Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, or Quest Pro , sideloading means transferring files from a PC to the headset via a USB cable, bypassing the Meta Horizon Store.
