visionOS 2.0.1 now available for Apple Vision Pro with multiple bug fixes

Two weeks after releasing visionOS 2 to the public, Apple is now rolling out visionOS 2.0.1. The update doesn’t add any new features, but it does bring multiple bug fixes that should make the device run more stable.

What’s new with visionOS 2.0.1

According to Apple, visionOS 2.0.1 provides “important bug fixes and security updates and is recommended for all users.” More specifically, these are the bugs fixed with the update:

  • YouTube video player in Safari may freeze Safari
  • Web Extension data may be lost after updating to visionOS 2
  • Messages may unexpectedly quit when replying to a message with a shared Apple Watch face

New features in visionOS 2

visionOS 2 includes a fundamental change to how you navigate visionOS. Instead of looking up and tapping to get to Control Center and the Home View, visionOS 2 adds a brand new gesture interaction. You can look down at the palm of your hand and tap to instantly go to the Home View. Alternatively, you can flip your hand over and tap to see quick information about your Vision Pro.

visionOS 2 also allows you to rearrange icons on your Vision Pro’s Home View. Just look at an app icon, pinch and hold, and your icons will enter jiggle mode just like they do on iPhone and iPad. Additionally, you can now move iPhone and iPad apps out of the Compatible Apps folder and onto the main Apps View. 

Another big change for Apple Vision Pro is keyboard passthrough support. This means that visionOS 2 will recognize and reveal your Magic Keyboard or MacBook keyboard when you’re immersed in an environment. The update also improves Guest User and adds New Environments.

Apple Vision Pro users can download visionOS 2.0.1 now by going to the Settings app.
