Overview

After a two-year gap since Apple Vision Pro’s debut, Google has released an official YouTube app for the headset. The launch addresses a long-running user complaint about the lack of a native YouTube experience on a device positioned around immersive video consumption, and the new app is presented as a Vision Pro-native interface rather than a simple tablet port.
