YouTube Is Finally on the Apple Vision Pro. Can We Expect More Google Apps to Come?
The app supports 3D, 360-degree, and VR180 videos and offers standard features like subscriptions and playlists, closing the gap left by the earlier Safari workaround.
- On Thursday, YouTube launched an official visionOS app for the Apple Vision Pro, rolling out in the App Store as a free download.
- With no official client at first, Vision Pro owners relied on Safari and third-party apps such as Juno while YouTube said a Vision Pro app was on its roadmap two years ago.
- YouTube's visionOS release includes the full signed-in experience with subscriptions, playlists, and Shorts, supports 3D, 360-degree, and VR180 videos via a Spatial tab, and features immersive Theater environments, gesture controls, and 8K playback on M5 chip models.
- The release immediately removes fragile Safari workarounds for Vision Pro users, enabling videos on a theater-sized virtual screen in visionOS despite about 45,000 new units shipped .
- Because YouTube appeared earlier on Android XR and Samsung Galaxy XR, observers say this launch may reflect Google's XR ambitions and presage more app support and spatial broadcasts like NBA and F1 before WWDC 2026.
