Developer Update - 23 October 2025

Well it was actually an interesting read, and it is a developer update, so it’ll likely have some technical stuff in it.

So uh hey do you remember like a year ago when y’all went to introduce “boops”, and there was a significantly large response in the ask forums of “please let us disable this, it will make our experience actively worse otherwise”? But that was apparently a thing that couldn’t be done because “reasons” and so the whole thing was scrapped? I mean that link to the open beta docs says “people immediately wanted it back” but like, maybe I’m misremembering, but I don’t recall anyone posting in that prior thread about how much they liked them, only how much they didn’t want them.

How ‘bout that ‘disabling boops’ option, then? I’ve already gotten a couple from randos on the beta and can’t even look to see if there’s a way to turn them off since I’m not on the beta. If we can turn off group notifications - something we knowingly ‘opt in’ to when joining a group - we really ought to be able to turn off something that, so far as I can tell, none of us are being given a choice to ‘opt in’ to or out of.

I haven’t signed on this board in many years, but, I just wanted to add to the record about how much I dislike ‘boops.’ I’m glad it seems we’ll be able to disable them once the beta option goes live, but I never liked such a feature in any platform, ever.

Hi, did this update change how camera system works? I’m having issues across ALL avatars with VRCLens prefab which is hindering my photography.
