Investigation summary
The palm-up-pinch gesture used to invoke the Quest system menu during hand tracking sessions is causing frequent accidental app exits. Users, especially inexperienced VR users, are unintentionally triggering the gesture or interacting with the Meta icon prompt, leading to application exits. The issue arises from the ease of triggering the gesture during normal hand movements. A feature request has been made to restore the wrist button as an alternative method for accessing the system menu, which would require more deliberate user intent and reduce unintended app exits in hand-tracking applications.
