What’s New in visionOS 26 (June 2025)
Announced at WWDC 2025, visionOS 26 brings one of the biggest leaps in usability and visual refinement since launch:
1. Spatial Widgets
Widgets can now persist in your physical space—place a clock on your wall, weather outside your window, or music controls near your workspace. They retain their position across sessions.
You can now attach any app to the wall, and it will get persistent in space even after holding the crown.

3. Look to Scroll
A brand-new hands-free feature—just look up or down on a scrollable page and it moves. Developers can now integrate this via public API.
4. Shared Spatial Experiences
Multiple users wearing Vision Pro in the same room can now join a shared 3D space—watch a 3D movie together, play multiplayer games, or even collaborate in productivity apps.
5. PS VR2 Controller Support
In a surprise move, Apple now supports Sony’s PS VR2 Sense controllers, opening the door to next-gen gaming experiences on Vision Pro.
6. Spatial Media Playback
visionOS 26 now supports 180° and 360° content from Insta360, Canon, and GoPro. New AI tools let you convert flat images into spatial photos.
7. Smarter Ecosystem Features
- Unlock your iPhone while wearing Vision Pro.
- App folders in Home View.
- New Control Center redesign.
- Vision Pro now supports Logitech Muse stylus and protected enterprise content.
8. Liquid Glass Design
A new design language across Apple platforms, “Liquid Glass” brings a sleek, semi-transparent aesthetic with updated animations and depth.
Expressive. Delightful. But still instantly familiar.
