YouTube was one of the biggest apps missing from the Vision Pro platform at launch in February 2024. That changes today, however, with the launch of an official YouTube app for visionOS.
Latest Update
When Vision Pro first launched, Google said that a Vision Pro app was on its roadmap, but suggested that people use Safari in the meantime.
YouTube for Apple Vision Pro is rolling out today on the App Store.
Details
In the absence of an official YouTube app for Vision Pro, third-party options quickly popped up on the App Store. Many of those, however, were ultimately removed after Google complained to Apple that the apps violated its YouTube guidelines.
Starting today, Vision Pro users finally have a way to watch YouTube in a native app on visionOS.
The YouTube app for Apple Vision Pro includes access to standard YouTube features like subscriptions, watch history, playlists, and YouTube Shorts. The app also includes support for watching 3D, 360-degree, and VR180 videos. Vision Pro users can watch YouTube videos in built-in visionOS environments.
Google explains:
Experience your favorite YouTube channels, videos and creators in extended reality. The YouTube app turns every video on the platform into a spatial watch experience.
Experience YouTube like never before:
