Apple releases visionOS 1.1 update

Apple on Thursday released visionOS, the first major update to its visionOS operating system for its wearable headset.

The update can be installed by going to the Settings app on the Vision Pro, selecting the General section, and choosing Software Update. The Vision Pro headset will need to be removed to install new software, with a progress bar available on the front EyeSight display.

The fixes, changes, and new features for the updated operating system are as follows:

Mobile Device Management:

  • Enables account-driven device and user enrollment using Managed Apple IDs
  • Support for device configuration (Wi-Fi, VPN, email accounts, single sign-on, and more)
  • Support for deploying apps in volume including iPhone and iPad compatible apps, visionOS apps included in a Universal purchase, and proprietary in-house visionOS apps
  • Support for remote erase via MDM and device inventory data

Messages:

  • Adds support for iMessage Contact Key Verification

Accessibility:

  • Closed captions can be anchored to the playback control while viewing Apple Immersive Video

Persona (beta) and EyeSight:

  • Adds an option to enroll your Persona hands-free
  • Improves hair and makeup appearance
  • Improves neck and mouth representation
  • Improves rendering of the eyes for EyeSight

Virtual Keyboard:

  • Cursor positioning for text input is now more accurate
  • Resolves some instances where the virtual keyboard placement obscures the text input field
  • Fixes an issue where in some cases, the text preview on the virtual keyboard may appear out of sync with the text field in the app
  • Fixes an issue where the edit menu may appear unexpectedly

Mac Virtual Display:

  • Improves the reliability of discovering and connecting to a Mac using Mac Virtual Display
  • Resolves an issue where Universal Control may stop working
  • Addresses a connectivity issue that occurs when a previously paired Bluetooth device cannot be found

Captive Network Support:

  • Ability to set up your device while using a captive WiFi network such as those found at hotels, cafes and airports

Apple is already working on visionOS 2, which is expected to be previewed at WWDC in June.
