There are many unknowns surrounding the Apple Vision Pro that can only be resolved by using the device once it is in users’ hands. Starting today, Apple’s new virtual reality glasses will start reaching buyers and we will start seeing the first independent user reviews. One of the surprising aspects is th at Apple Vision Pros do not support different user accounts.
Vision Pro: $3,500 for use by a single user
Apple has confirmed that the virtual reality glasses, the Vision Pro, are designed for individualized and personalized use. In fact, users who use glasses with different prescriptions can apply lenses to guarantee correct vision. This prevents or makes it difficult for a person to try on the glasses when they are not yours, unlike when we are testing a device like a MacBook or iPhone.
However, at WWDC23 and in recent months we have verified that there is a Guest mode for the curious who want to see what the Vision Pro looks like inside. Apple created this mode with the aim of “sharing specific apps and experiences with family and friends” and not so much that there is a second user This is why there is no compatibility with user accounts.

Guest mode It does not allow storing any type of configuration or information, including calibration data before starting the device. Therefore, when the same user or another wants to access this guest mode, they will have to restart the process. Furthermore, the mode limits certain applications and settings, many of them are protected with the owner’s face, therefore a period of “x” minutes without protection will be applied to guarantee the correct testing of the device.
