YouTube Debuts on Apple Vision Pro
YouTube has officially launched a dedicated app for the Apple Vision Pro, enhancing the video-viewing experience on the device. Users can now enjoy videos on an immersive, theater-sized virtual screen powered by visionOS.
YouTube App Features for Apple Vision Pro
The new app offers access to a vast library, including:
- Standard videos
- 180° videos
- 360° videos
- YouTube Shorts
For users with the Apple Vision Pro equipped with the M5 chip, watching YouTube videos in stunning 8K resolution is now possible. The app also allows users to manage their:
- Subscriptions
- Playlists
- Watch history
Comparing with Previous Access Methods
Before the launch of the official app, users accessed YouTube via the Safari browser on the Apple Vision Pro. Although a third-party app named “Juno” was introduced in 2024, it was removed from the App Store shortly after due to violations of YouTube’s Terms of Service.
Compatibility with Apple Vision Pro Models
The official YouTube app is compatible with both M2 and M5 chip models of the Apple Vision Pro. This move marks a significant enhancement for users seeking a more integrated YouTube experience.
For those keen on the latest in virtual reality and streaming services, the arrival of the YouTube app on Apple Vision Pro is a noteworthy development that promises to elevate content consumption in unprecedented ways.
