5 Things to Know About the visionOS 1.2 Update

Apple’s confirmed a new milestone software upgrade for the Vision Pro and visionOS 1.2 is currently in beta testing ahead of its release later this year.

visionOS 1.2 is a milestone upgrade for the new Vision Pro. As such, it might bring more than bug fixes and security patches to the device. We may come with new features as well.

Apple hasn’t confirmed the visionOS 1.2 release date and the software will stay in beta testing for a bit longer while users poke and prod it for issues.

If you don’t want to wait for the software’s stable release, you can try an early version of the firmware on your Apple Vision Pro today.

With the visionOS 1.2 update in development, we want to take you through everything there is to know about the second major update for Vision Pro.

Our guide will take you through the visionOS 1.2 update’s changes, what you can expect from the visionOS 1.2 release date and release time, information about the beta, and more.

visionOS 1.2 Beta

If you want to start using visionOS 1.2 on your Vision Pro right now, you can.

Apple’s pushed the visionOS 1.2 beta to developers which means those with a developer account now have access to the pre-release version of the software. The software is also available to the public via the company’s Beta Software Program.

Before you download the visionOS 1.2 beta onto your Vision Pro, note that Apple’s pre-release software is typically always plagued with bugs and performance issues.

These issues could impact the performance of your core apps, your device’s battery life, and its overall speed which can make it tricky to use as a daily driver.

You should be able to resolve some problems on your own, but some bugs and performance issues may require a fix from Apple down the road.

Apple’s currently on the third version of the visionOS 1.2 beta.

visionOS 1.2 Beta Problems

If you run into trouble while using the visionOS 1.2 beta, here are some resources that could help.

If you can’t find a fix for your problem, and you can’t wait for the next version of the beta, head over to Apple’s discussion forums.

If the users there can’t help you, you can get in contact with customer support via Apple’s website.

If you still can’t fix your issue(s), you might want to schedule an appointment to see a Genius at your local Apple Store.

visionOS 1.2 Release Date

Again, Apple hasn’t confirmed the visionOS 1.2 release date, but we expect the software to touch down for the Vision Pro in May.

visionOS 1.2 Release Time

We don’t have a release date yet, but we do know exactly when Apple will push the software out on whatever day it chooses.

The official version of visionOS 1.2 will most likely arrive in and around 10AM Pacific. It sometimes takes a few minutes for software to show up so there’s no need to worry if you don’t see it right away. This is also the case for new beta software.

Keep this timeline in mind if you plan to install new versions of the visionOS 1.2 beta, or the official version of visionOS 1.2, right away.

visionOS 1.2 Features

visionOS 1.2 beta testers haven’t found much on board which means this could be a fairly small milestone release for the Vision Pro.

Testers are digging through the latest beta and we’ll let you know if they find anything significant.

Apple may add, or subtract, from the visionOS 1.2 update’s change log as the beta progresses and we’ll let you know if that occurs.
