iOS 18.4 adds new Apple Vision Pro app for iPhone

The first iOS 18.4 beta has arrived, and with it comes the launch of a brand new iPhone app. Similar to the standalone Watch app for Apple Watch users, there’s now a dedicated ‘Apple Vision Pro’ app for iPhone.

visionOS 2.4 appears to be the big highlight of this next Apple software cycle, as it introduces the first Apple Intelligence features on Vision Pro, plus a new Spatial Gallery app.

But the iPhone is getting in on the fun too.

iOS 18.4 introduces the ‘Apple Vision Pro’ app to iPhone users as a new hub to discover spatial content, queue up apps and games for download, view information about your Vision Pro, and more.

Here are the full details from Apple’s press release:

Starting in April, Apple Vision Pro users will be able to queue apps and games to download, discover new spatial content and experiences, easily find helpful tips, and quickly access information about their device from their iPhone with the new Apple Vision Pro app. The app will appear for Vision Pro users when they update their iPhone to iOS 18.4, and it can also be downloaded from the App Store.

The Discover page offers curated recommendations for new and noteworthy experiences available on Apple Vision Pro. Users can quickly see popular apps and games on the App Store; nearly 300 3D movies, Apple Immersive titles, and more video content on the Apple TV app; and the latest spatial photos, spatial videos, and panoramas featured in the Spatial Gallery.1 New Apple Immersive titles include “Ice Dive” from the Adventure series; “Sharks” from the Wild Lifeseries; and Man vs. Beast. “Arctic Surfing” — the latest episode of Boundless — debuts worldwide today, while the next episode of Adventure, “Deep Water Solo,” debuts next Friday, February 28.

On the My Vision Pro page, users will find tips for getting the most out of Apple Vision Pro; can easily access information such as their current visionOS version and device serial number; and set up Personalized Spatial Audio. Users with vision correction needs will be able to store and view the App Clip code for their ZEISS Optical Inserts in the Apple Vision Pro app.

As Apple says, Vision Pro users will automatically have the app added to their iPhone after updating to iOS 18.4.

For everyone else, the new Apple Vision Pro app will be available for download from the App Store once iOS 18.4 and visionOS 2.4 launch publicly in April.
