Apple has released the second developer beta of visionOS 2.2, just a day after rolling out other beta updates for iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, macOS Sequoia 15.2, tvOS 18.2, and watchOS 11.2. This update introduces an improved Mac Virtual Display feature for Vision Pro, adding significant functionality for professionals and multitaskers.
New Ultrawide Display for Enhanced Productivity
The highlight of this beta is the upgraded Mac Virtual Display, which now supports an Ultrawide view. This feature enables users to arrange two 4K screens side by side, expanding workspace options on the Vision Pro. By offering more screen real estate, Apple aims to attract users who rely on multiple windows for productivity, including tasks like video editing and data analysis.
Beta Details and Improvements
Tagged with build number 22N5784e, this new version replaces the initial 22N5778f build that launched on November 4. Apple’s visionOS 2.2 beta focuses on refining the Vision Pro experience with reliable performance and seamless compatibility. Each beta build brings Apple closer to a stable public release, ensuring enhanced features for Vision Pro users.
Important Advice for Testers
Apple advises testers to install beta software only on secondary devices, as it may contain bugs that could disrupt regular use or lead to data loss. Regular backups are highly recommended to avoid any potential data issues. This warning ensures that testers approach the beta software with caution, maintaining a stable setup on their main devices.
Apple’s visionOS 2.2 beta rollout reflects the company’s commitment to delivering robust features for Vision Pro. As testing continues, users can expect additional improvements, paving the way for a smooth experience once the final release is available. With each beta, Apple moves closer to making Vision Pro a powerful tool for professional and personal use alike.
