In iOS 18.4, there is a new Vision Pro app that works in conjunction with visionOS 2.4. With the Vision Pro app, Vision Pro owners can download apps to the Vision Pro, find content to watch and add it to a watch list, and get device info like serial number. There is a dedicated discover page that offers curated recommendations for new and noteworthy experiences, including popular apps and games.
Users can also use an iPhone to set up and manage Guest Mode on the Vision Pro, and guests can now save their eye and hand setups for up to 30 days after their last use, making multi-person use more feasible. Via the iPhone, Vision Pro owners can block or allow the use of certain apps and guide a user through the Vision Pro interface using AirPlay.
The update can be located, downloaded, and installed by navigating to the Settings app, selecting the General section, and choosing the Software Update option.
