When the Appl Vision Pro launched in February of 2024, it was surprisingly missing the YouTube app. That all changes today (Feb. 12) with the arrival of an official, native YouTube app for visionOS.
According to Apple, your profiles, playlists, and watch history are accessible in the app. It also includes access to every kind of video from shorts to 3D, 360 and VR180 content.

You can access the new YouTube app on the App Store right now. “The YouTube app turns every video on the platform into a spatial watch experience,” the listing says.
If you have the newer Apple Vision Pro M5, you can even watch 8K videos, even as it seems to be the end for 8K TVs.
It’s possible the YouTube app finally came to be thanks to Google’s own VR/XR goals. The Samsung Galaxy XR was recently launched in October with an excellent version of YouTube available to Android XR users. And Google is rumored to be internally developing its own branded devices.
What Apple really needs to snag now is a native Netflix app. However, there don’t seem to be any plans from the streamer to develop one.
