You won’t find sideloaded apps on the Oculus Quests’s Home screen, unfortunately. Click the “Apps” menu under the controls, and select “Uninstall App” from the settings for the app. If you want to uninstall apps, you can do that from SideQuest as well. Once connected, you can sideload apps by installing them from the app itself, installing from the website (which will open SideQuest), or by manually installing the APK from the controls in the top right. If it’s not connected, you might have to install the Oculus App for the Quest to install the proper drivers for the headset. Once you load it, you should see the headset connected in the top corner.

Sideloading An Appįirst, you’ll need to turn on developer mode to allow sideloading. You also aren’t limited to apps from SideQuest-you can sideload anything you have an APK for. In addition to sideloading, SideQuest has tools for sending ADB commands, browsing the device files, and changing device settings. You can send apps to SideQuest straight from the website, which will install them directly onto your Oculus Quest, provided it’s plugged into your PC.
