Changes in visionOS 26.4 beta 2
So far, there are no widely reported headline additions in beta 2. Early notes point to typical fixes and refinements rather than new user-facing features.
The more notable visionOS 26.4 change surfaced in beta 1, which unlocked a new foveated streaming capability aimed at apps and games. Beta 2 is the next step in stabilizing that work and anything else in the 26.4 branch.
