The Verge reports a YouTube spokesperson confirming plans for a native Vision Pro app. Meanwhile, YouTube will optimize its platform for Safari as a temporary solution.

However, support for 360 and VR videos on Vision Pro remains uncertain.

Apple acknowledges the need for improvement in WebXR standards but highlights ongoing efforts.

The timeline for YouTube's Vision Pro app and VR video support remains uncertain.

“We’re excited to see Vision Pro launch and we’re supporting it by ensuring YouTube users have a great experience in Safari. We do not have any specific plans to share at this time, but can confirm that a Vision Pro app is on our roadmap.”

YouTube's desktop version is currently accessed in Safari on Vision Pro.
