Today, Apple announced visionOS 26, which joins Apple’s renamed operating system lineup alongside iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and so on. The new system brings PlayStation VR2 Sense compatibility, spatial widgets, Look to Scroll, and performance improvements under the hood.
If you want to enroll in the developer beta program for Apple Vision Pro, here’s what you’ve got to do:
- Open the Settings app
- Choose “General”
- Choose “Software Update”
- Select “Beta Updates”
- Select “visionOS Developer Beta”
Apple hasn’t published the full release notes yet, but they’ll be available at this link.
As with any first beta, expect some instability: apps might break, features can misbehave, and things won’t always work as expected. Also, keep in mind that stability and reliability tend to fluctuate throughout the beta cycle, so proceed with caution if you’re installing it on your primary device.
