"The Apple Vision Pro will finally get an official visionOS YouTube app on Thursday. With the visionOS YouTube app, you'll be able to watch all videos available on YouTube, including standard videos, Shorts, 3D, 360, and VR180 videos, Apple spokesperson Corey Nord tells The Verge. The Vision Pro launched more than two years ago, but it hasn't had an official YouTube app until now."
"Ahead of the release of the Vision Pro, YouTube said that it wasn't planning to build a native app for the platform. But a few days after the headset hit store shelves, YouTube changed course and said that a Vision Pro app was "on our roadmap." That was in early February 2024, so it's been just over two years from that announcement to Thursday's launch."
"Christian Selig, the developer of the now-shut-down Apollo app for Reddit, created an unofficial YouTube app for the Vision Pro called Juno that was available when the Vision Pro was released. Apple removed it from the App Store in October 2024."
Apple Vision Pro will receive an official visionOS YouTube app on Thursday, enabling playback of standard videos, Shorts, 3D, 360, and VR180 content. Apple spokesperson Corey Nord confirmed that all YouTube video formats will be available on the headset. The Vision Pro launched more than two years ago without a native YouTube app. YouTube initially said it would not build a native app, then announced in early February 2024 that a Vision Pro app was "on our roadmap." The official app launch follows just over two years after that roadmap announcement. An unofficial app named Juno existed at release but was removed from the App Store in October 2024.
