Use the User object and related APIs to retrieve information about your players to customize their experience, help them find their friends, and then join them in social VR experiences with Rooms.

When developing your apps, consider the following limitations related to age:

To retrieve the user’s Meta Quest account and Meta Quest Name to display, add the Get Meta Quest Identity node to your Blueprint. The Meta Quest account is available synchronously after Login() is called, while the Meta Quest Name is available asynchronously after OnLoginComplete() returns.

For Unreal development, you can use the Platform native API and information found in the Platform Unreal Development - Get Setup guide.

If you have localized your app content into different languages, you can detect the locale of the user at runtime using the platform SDK or native Android methods. Then, use the locale to determine what language version of your app content you offer that user.

You can get the locale of the logged in user with a call to the platform GetLoggedInUserLocale function.

For example:

    const char* locale = ovr_GetLoggedInUserLocale();
    // Do something depending on locale value.

The return value (locale in this example) is a language-country code string that conforms to BCP 47 Extension U. This means you can expect a language subtag, a dash, and a country/region subtag. For example, “en-US” represents United States English.

Use the returned locale string to decide what language your app should display and use for this user.

For apps that run on Quest devices, you get the locale of the user using the Android Locale.getDefault method.

The returned Locale object provides the ISO 639 alpha-2 or alpha-3 language code and the ISO 3166 alpha-2 country/region code as properties, and you can these to decide what language your app should display and use for this user.

See the Locale object in the Android documentation for more information.
