The second major release of visionOS, Apple’s Vision Pro operating system, has just entered beta. When visionOS 1.1 arrived a month ago, it mostly fixed a few pain points in the final version (like the inability to reset your device). It’s unclear what visionOS 1.2 will bring: “Spatial Personas” will come to all Vision Pro headsets before version 1.2.
What’s new in visionOS 1.2
We don’t yet know what’s new in visionOS 1.2, but we’ll update this section as new features and changes are discovered.
visionOS 1.2: How to install the public beta
We don’t yet know if Apple will have a public beta program for visionOS: there’s no public beta option yet, but the device is still fairly new. We hope it works like it does on other Apple devices.
You will probably join the beta by opening Settingsby selecting GeneralSO Software updates. In the Beta Updates section, choose visionOS public beta.
visionOS 1.2: How to install the developer beta
You’ll need to be registered as an Apple developer, but you don’t need to participate in the $99-per-year developer program to access the developer beta; a free developer account will do the trick. You can get one through Xcode or the Apple Developer app on iOS. Here’s how to do it via the Apple Developer app:
- Download the Apple Developer app from the App Store.
- Open the app.
- Tap Account.
- Sign in using your regular Apple ID.
