Apple has released the second beta of visionOS 27 to developers for testing. The update arrives around two weeks after the first beta and continues testing new Apple Vision Pro features before the wider release.
How to Update
- Open Settings on your Apple Vision Pro.
- Go to General.
- Tap Software Update.
- Choose Beta Updates.
- Select the visionOS 27 Developer Beta.
- Download and install the latest beta.
You need a developer account to access the developer beta. Since this is test software, install it only if you are comfortable with bugs and performance issues.
All the Changes in visionOS 27
- Curved app windows: visionOS 27 adds curved windows, which make apps feel more natural in a spatial workspace. This helps bring the edges of the window closer without reducing usable screen space.
- Redesigned Control Center: Apple has reorganized Control Center so key controls are easier to find. It now separates areas like notifications, playback, main controls, and environments.
- Smaller widget size: The update adds an extra-small widget option. This gives users more control over how widgets look inside their space.
- Smarter notifications: Notifications can now expand when the user looks at them. This makes alerts easier to read without extra steps.
- Siri AI and Visual Intelligence: visionOS 27 also focuses on Siri AI features, including a new visual Siri experience and support for asking questions about apps or real-world objects around you.
- Performance and stability fixes: As this is the second beta, Apple is also expected to include bug fixes, smoother system behavior, and under-the-hood improvements.
Final Thoughts
visionOS 27 Beta 2 is mainly for developers who want to test the latest Apple Vision Pro features early. Regular users should wait for the public beta or stable release for a safer experience.
