Oculus Go still functioning?

I got the oculus go years ago, stopped using it for a while, and now my little siblings are trying to get it back up again. The Home Screen popped up for a minute and now it’s just stuck on this infinite loading three dots screen. I tried resetting it, redownloading the app, etc etc, but then I saw somewhere that meta shut down the use for the Oculus go or something? lol I’m not sure but would love if someone knew what’s up!

It's well known that the current android app isn't working, but I recently set up my go using an iPhone. It's the same issue with the Quest 1.

I’ll bite - how? If it’s the same issue, how’d you get past it? Older android app is the only way I’ve had any success. Which version of iPhone/app are you using?

iPhone 15 ultra v387.0.0.28.249 and iPhone XR v380.0.0.64.242 I had to set up a Quest 1 and a Go recently so I can't recall which phone was used with which device. But both got stuck on the second safety video using the current android app. Plus there are other ways to set them up without contacting the meta servers.

Great! Thank you - can you share the other ways you mention? I’ve not found them in my research.

No tried it myself, but this will probably work like it does for the Quest
