VisionOS 27 User Guide

Your Apple Vision Pro can do more than you might realize. But knowing where to begin, which settings to change, and how to use its features confidently can make all the difference.

Perhaps you find the eye and hand controls confusing, want to understand Siri and Apple Intelligence, or simply need help setting up your device without feeling overwhelmed. With so many windows, gestures, immersive experiences, and settings to explore, it is easy to miss useful features or spend more time figuring things out than actually enjoying them.

This guide makes the experience easier to understand.

Written in clear, beginner-friendly language, it explains how to set up your device, navigate visionOS, personalize your workspace, and make practical use of the tools available. Each topic focuses on what you need to know, how the features work, and how to use them in everyday situations, without unnecessary technical jargon.

Inside, you will discover how to:
