You won’t be able to use the YouTube app on the Vision Pro

Netflix is already off the list, and Spotify might block its native app from working on the device, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Just like Netflix, YouTube also isn’t building a native app for the Vision Pro. Its iPad app won’t support the $3,499 headset, either, as YouTube spokesperson Jessica Gibby tells Kinghacks365 “YouTube users will be able to use YouTube in Safari on the Vision Pro.”

Those aren’t the only major services that won’t have dedicated apps on the Vision Pro. A source familiar with the situation tells Bloomberg that Spotify isn’t planning to create a new app for the Vision Pro and “doesn’t expect to enable its iPad app to run on the device,” potentially forcing users to access Spotify in a web browser.

Spotify spokesperson Grey Munford tells Kinghacks365 that the company can’t confirm this report and that Spotify has “made no announcement concerning plans for the Vision Pro.”

Out of the 46 most popular apps on the App Store, none of them will have a native visionOS app at launch, according to findings from MacStories. This list could always change — and some of the apps will still offer Vision Pro support through their existing apps on iPhone and iPad — but the lack of native apps just weeks away from the Vision Pro launch isn’t particularly encouraging.
