After a few weeks of beta testing, Apple has just released visionOS 2.1 to Apple Vision Pro users. While we waited for some delayed features to be available with this update, Apple focused on fixing bugs.
According to the company, visionOS 2.1 fixe these issues:
- Apple Music songs and music videos may fail to play
- Any project that utilizes Swift Charts fails to build when targeting iOS, macOS, or visionOS
- In StoreKit Testing in Xcode, the offer identifier in the subscription renewal info might be reported incorrectly for offer codes.
- Users are unable to rename a voice memo while recording.
We still expect visionOS 2 to add this delayed feature:
- Mac Virtual Display: It will feature a higher resolution and larger size, creating an ultra-wide display equivalent to two 4K monitors side by side.
In addition, a rumor expects Apple to add Apple Intelligence to Apple Vision Pro in 2025. With that, Apple’s spatial computer would be part of this AI platform, along with the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Cupertino could potentially be waiting for Apple Intelligence to launch and get its best features before expanding to another software.

- The Apple TV app brings support for multiview to Apple Vision Pro for the ultimate sports-viewing experience. Later this year, fans can watch up to five simultaneous streams to keep track of all their favorite sports and teams.
- To help users achieve calm and focus, the Mindfulness app includes a new capability called Follow Your Breathing that presents dynamic visual animations and sounds that respond to the user’s breathing patterns.
