Apple Officially Releases visionOS 26 [Download]

Apple has officially released visionOS 26, the next major software update for its Vision Pro headset. The update focuses on making the spatial experience more personal and collaborative, with new ways to interact with apps and content.

A key update is how widgets work; they are no longer confined to an app window and can now be placed directly into your physical space, remaining where you leave them. The Photos app is also gaining a new feature called Spatial Scenes, using generative AI to add a new layer of computational depth to your photos for a more realistic effect.

visionOS 26 introduces shared spatial experiences, allowing multiple Vision Pro users in the same room to watch a 3D movie or work on a project together, with the ability to add remote participants via FaceTime. Digital Personas are also being enhanced for greater realism, with new machine learning techniques for more accurate expressions and a full side profile view.


In a notable update for gaming, the system will now support the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller, opening the door for more complex games. The update also adds support for the Logitech Muse, a new spatial accessory for precise input, and native playback of 180- and 360-degree video from cameras made by Insta360, GoPro, and Canon. Safari also gains a spatial browsing mode that can hide distractions.

For enterprise, new tools allow for team device sharing and a Protected Content API to secure confidential materials. Other new features include a 'Look to Scroll' accessibility option, the ability to unlock your iPhone while wearing the headset, and support for relaying cellular calls from your iPhone.

You can install the update by going to Settings > General > Software Update on your Vision Pro. You can also find direct links to download visionOS here:
