Frequently Asked Questions
Does AnExplorer appear in the Quest 3 app library?
AnExplorer appears under Unknown Sources in your apps library since it's distributed via App Lab/SideQuest, not the official Meta Store.
Can I use AnExplorer to manage game mods on Quest 3?
Yes. Navigate to /sdcard/Android/data/[game-package]/ to access game data folders and drop in mod files.
Does AnExplorer need developer mode to run on Quest 3?
For SideQuest installation, yes. For App Lab installation, no — you can install directly without developer mode.
