The Apple Vision Pro mixed reality headset will not benefit from many very popular applications. They have chosen not to be natively integrated into the device.
Let’s say you are tempted by mixed reality headset Apple Vision Pro and don’t let its price put you off. Considering the price, you would expect it to become more or less your number one device, capable of doing what others do or even more. Well, you will quickly become disillusioned. By default, all applications offered on iPhone or iPad are accessible on Visio Pro. On the other hand, the developers of the latter can choose to manually refuse this automatic provision.

In general, it’s about making sure everything works well, but for these surprisingly many cases, it’s deliberate. Netflix has already announced thatit will not be present natively on the Apple headset and that’he doesn’t plan to ever bereferring users to platform website if they want to access it. But it is far from being the only service to ignore the device. The MacStories teams noticed that out of the 46 most popular apps in the App Store, absolutely none will be present on the Vision Pro at launch.
These Very Popular Apps Won’t Work on Apple Vision Pro Headset at Launch
By drawing up a non-exhaustive list, we note that these applications used almost daily by many people will not be accessible when the Apple Vision Pro is released:
- Youtube
- YouTube Music
- Spotify
- Threads
- TikTok
- Snapchat
- Amazon
- Gmail
- Chromium
- Google Calendar
- ChatGPT
There are others, but the essentials are there. Certain games are also affected, including Minecraft And Genshin Impact. Technically, this doesn’t mean that these apps will never be available. Developers may well reconsider their decision later. However, we know that like Netflix, YouTube and Spotify have no plans to do this. Enough to discourage potential buyers who were ready to invest $3,500 in the Vision Pro. Remember that the headset could be released in France in June 2024.
