Happy 10th birthday to Instagram! And thank you to everyone who has made Instagram so special. I can't believe that it’s been eight years since Instagram joined us - the community and the service have come so far, and I'm excited for the journey ahead.

Tomorrow is -- a reminder to take the first step to vote and make sure your voice is heard. With the pandemic, it's more important than ever to make sure everyone knows how to safely cast their vote. At Facebook, we're running the largest voting information campaign in American history, with the goal of helping to register 4 million eligible voters in the US this year. We estimate we've already helped 2.5 million people register so far this year across Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, based on conversion rates we calculated from a few states we've partnered with -- but there's still more to do. As I've said before, voting is voice. In a democracy, voting is the ultimate way we hold our leaders accountable and make sure the country is heading in the direction we want. Today, almost 40% of eligible voters in the US aren’t registered yet, so if you're not registered yet or don't know if you are, please check out the Voting Info Center on Instagram (you can find it in the menu bar) to get the process started.

I've said before that I believe augmented and virtual reality will be the next major computing platforms. I sat down with @mkbhd to discuss what that might mean -- a future where we can feel fully present with each other no matter where we are physically. I'm excited to build this at Facebook, and thanks to Marques for sitting down with me remotely!

Today we announced Oculus Quest 2. It's lighter, faster and has a better display than the first generation -- and it starts at just $299. It's fully wireless and it has hands-down the best content library of any VR system out there. We wanted this next version of Quest to be something anyone can jump into, with the best and most immersive experience out there, and we wanted to price it so it's available to as many people as possible. There are a bunch of improvements to the hardware. This is the first major consumer device that runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 platform. It's fully customized for VR and AR with support for multiple cameras and tech like fixed foveated rendering. The end result is a more immersive experience with crisper graphics, more dynamic environments, and ultimately a more realistic feeling of presence. The display is better. Instead of two OLEDs, Quest 2 has a single LCD for super high-res visuals, and a new system for adjusting the optics that makes it easier to dial in the visual settings that are right for you. We've redesigned the Touch controllers with more efficient tracking and optimized haptics. The new controllers deliver a better feeling of hand presence and stronger physical feedback. For apps that don't use our full hand tracking, this will make a better experience all around. We've made a lot of software updates too. For example, a lot of people have been using VR for fitness, so we've built in a system-level fitness tracker that helps you keep tabs on how much exercise you're getting while playing some of your favorite titles. It's called Oculus Move, and it lets you set VR fitness goals and track them across games and apps. These are just a few of the improvements that make Quest 2 the best all-in-one VR experience out there. I've really been enjoying using mine during this lockdown, and I'm looking forward to getting these in more of your hands in just a few weeks.

Scoring one last goal against @boztank in Echo Arena before Facebook Connect tomorrow. I'm excited to share what we've been working on across augmented and virtual reality. Tune in at facebook.com/zuck at 10am PT tomorrow to watch the keynote.

Reminder from Dr. Fauci: wear a mask!

Please wear a mask. Covid is spreading quickly again and masks help keep people healthy and keep the country open.

New normal: this lockdown is officially two haircuts long.

Happy Mother's Day! A big thank you to all the moms out there who have poured your hearts and hard work into nurturing your children to create a better future for them and all of us.
