In the event that your Oculus quest 2 headset is also not working properly with glitches and lags every minute, then it may be time for you to reset your headset. Moreover, if you are discarding or selling the headset, you should also reset it before discarding or selling it.
The only way to fix glitches that won’t go away with just a headset restart is by resetting the headset. If you do, please remember that all your data will be erased, including all of your account information from the headset. However, this is unfortunately the only solution.
As there are two ways to factory reset your Oculus Quest 2 headset, we will be discussing both of them in this article. The first way involves using the headset buttons to perform the task. The second way involves using the Oculus mobile app to perform the task. Let’s get started.

If you don’t have the Oculus mobile app, then don’t worry. You can reset your malfunctioning Oculus Quest 2 headset without a mobile app. Here is how:

The second way to factory reset your Quest 2 is to use an Oculus-compatible device. Here is how you can do it:
Download and launch the Oculus app on an Oculus-compatible device. The Oculus app works on both Android and IOS devices. Use Google Play Store or Apple App Store to download the Oculus app.

- Tap on the Settings icon and open the settings menu.
- Click to the “Devices” list.
- Search for your paired headset and tap on it.
