The Verge recently reached out to YouTube representatives regarding the development plans for an Apple Vision Pro version of their app. In response, Jessica Gibby, YouTube spokesperson, expressed excitement about the launch of Vision Pro and confirmed that YouTube is currently supporting the best user experience on Safari. While no details were provided about other plans, it is confirmed that the Vision Pro app is already in our roadmap.
Previously, YouTube had stated that they had no plans to port the app to Vision Pro. However, they did not disclose whether there will be a dedicated app specifically for Vision Pro in the future. This announcement is similar to Spotify and Netflix, leaving Vision Pro without a significant content-focused app that caters to a large user base prior to its delivery to the initial group of customers.
However, it is speculated by The Verge that one reason YouTube had to quickly announce their plan to develop an app for Vision Pro is because there is currently a popular app called Juno for YouTube in the store. This app is designed to help users search for and watch videos on YouTube through Vision Pro.
TLDR: YouTube spokesperson confirmed excitement for the launch of YouTube’s Vision Pro app, currently providing the best user experience on Safari. While no specific details about other plans were shared, it is confirmed that YouTube has included the Vision Pro app in their roadmap. The announcement comes in response to the popular Juno for YouTube app, highlighting the need for a dedicated content-focused app for Vision Pro.
