With iOS 18.4 Beta 2, Apple has released a new app for the iPhone that is specifically aimed at owners of the Apple Vision Pro. The Vision Pro app is automatically installed on the iPhone as soon as the device is updated to the latest beta version. The prerequisite for this is that you own a Vision Pro. The app is designed to make it easier to find, manage and load content onto the Vision Pro, even when the headset is not actively in use.
The Vision Pro app was announced two weeks ago and is now available in iOS 18.4 Beta 2. Its main purpose is to make it easier to manage the Vision Pro and improve access to new content. What's particularly useful is that you can load apps, games, films and other content directly from your iPhone onto your Vision Pro. There is also an overview of current recommendations and new apps. This allows Apple to better interact with the Vision Pro without you having to put the headset on every time.
Meine Vision Pro
A central area of the app is “My Vision Pro”. Here you can find important information about your headset, including:
- serial number of the device
- Installed visionOS version
- operating instructions and usage tips
This area is primarily intended to provide an overview and offers you quick access to technical information and assistance.
This week – current content and recommendations
The main area of the app is the “This Week” experience. Here you can scroll through various content provided specifically for the Vision Pro, including:
- Apple Immersive content that fully exploits the potential of the Vision Pro
- New apps and games of the week that appear in the App Store for the Vision Pro
- Recommended 3D movies that can be experienced in high quality on the Vision Pro
- Feature highlights, including the Mac Virtual Display, which turns your MacBook display into a virtual work environment
With this overview you can discover new content and load it directly onto your Vision Pro.
Manage apps, games and movies directly
With the Vision Pro app you can manage content for your headset directly from your iPhone. This includes:
- Installing apps and games on the Vision Pro
- Add movies and series to your watchlist so you can watch them later on the headset
This saves time and makes using the Vision Pro more flexible.
Why is the app useful?
The new Vision Pro app in iOS 18.4 brings several advantages, especially for users who don't want to wear their headset all the time but still want to manage content.
- Quick access to current content without having to actively use the Vision Pro
- Easier headset management with technical information and instructions
- Clear app structure that makes it easier to discover new content
- Direct installation and watchlist for films and series
The new app should be a noticeable relief, especially for those who regularly work with the Vision Pro or use it for entertainment.
