YouTube’s plans for developing an app for the Apple Vision Pro headset have been confirmed by Jessica Gibby, a spokesperson for YouTube. In response to an inquiry from The Verge, Gibby expressed excitement about the launch of Vision Pro and assured users that YouTube is committed to offering the best experience possible on Safari. While other details about the app’s development have not been disclosed at this time, Gibby confirmed that the Vision Pro app is in the works.
Previously, YouTube had stated that they had no plans to port their app to Vision Pro, but did not reveal whether they would develop a dedicated app in the future. This announcement is reminiscent of similar statements from Spotify and Netflix, further highlighting the lack of content-focused apps available for Vision Pro. However, with the impending release of Vision Pro to early adopters, The Verge speculates that this may have prompted YouTube to quickly announce their plans for an app, particularly due to the popularity of Juno for YouTube. This app, designed specifically to facilitate video discovery and viewing on YouTube through Vision Pro, has garnered significant attention in the App Store.
TLDR: YouTube has confirmed plans to develop an app for the Apple Vision Pro headset, promising an enhanced user experience on Safari. While specific details are sparse, this announcement comes amidst the popularity of the Juno for YouTube app, suggesting YouTube’s response to the demand for content-focused apps on Vision Pro.
