The visionOS 2.2 Update Enhances Mac Virtual Display

The latest visionOS 2.2 update for Apple Vision Pro introduces crucial improvements to the Mac Virtual Display feature. While not as extensive as the iOS/iPadOS 18.2 update, visionOS 2.2 adds support for wide (21:9) and ultrawide (32:9) resolutions, significantly expanding usable screen real estate within the VR environment. This enhancement equates to having two 5K monitors side-by-side, boosting productivity for users.

  • Enhanced Audio Routing: Route audio directly from your Mac to Apple Vision Pro.
  • Improved Apple TV Integration: Multiview now allows watching up to five MLS and MLB games simultaneously. SharePlay support enables shared viewing experiences.
  • Safari Enhancements: Directly interact with spatial photos and videos embedded on web pages with a simple tap.
