Update visionOS on your Apple Vision Pro
Learn how to update your Apple Vision Pro to the latest version of visionOS.
You can set up your Apple Vision Pro to update automatically, or you can check for updates manually.
How to update visionOS automatically
Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates.
Turn on visionOS Updates.
Turn on Security Responses & System Files to automatically install security updates that might be available between complete visionOS updates. You can turn this option on in addition to visionOS Updates, or turn it on by itself.
If you'd like for visionOS updates to download automatically but install only when you choose, turn on visionOS Updates under Automatically Download. Then turn off visionOS Updates under Automatically Install.
Automatic visionOS software updates are downloaded and installed when your Apple Vision Pro is connected to Wi-Fi, charging, and locked.
How to check for visionOS updates manually
Back up your Apple Vision Pro.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update. The screen shows the currently installed version of visionOS and whether an update is available.
If an update is available, tap Download and Install or Install Now. You might need to enter your Apple Vision Pro passcode.
When the update is ready to install, an alert asks you to take off your Apple Vision Pro. You can see the progress of the update on the front of your device with EyeSight.
Your Apple Vision Pro battery needs to have sufficient charge, or be connected to power, before your device can update. An alert will let you know if you need to charge your battery first.
If your Apple Vision Pro won't update
Go to Settings > Storage and check your available storage space. If there isn't enough space to download and install an update, the software on your Apple Vision Pro will try to make space. It will remove only app data that it can download again, and it doesn't remove or relocate any of your data. If your device still doesn't have enough space, you can remove content and apps that you don't use.
Check your internet connection. The time it takes to download an update varies according to the size of the update and your internet speed. You can use your Apple Vision Pro normally while downloading the update, and your device will notify you when you can install it. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
If you still can't install the latest version of visionOS, try deleting and downloading the update again:
Go to Settings > Storage.
Find the update in the list of apps.
Tap the update, then tap Delete Update.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update and try updating again.
