In visionOS 26, the Guest User feature allows others to use your Apple Vision Pro while protecting your private data, with enhancements for easier setup via nearby iPhone/iPad.
Setting up a guest user session:
Open Control Center: While wearing the headset, look up and tap the arrow, then tap the Guest User icon (a circle with a head inside).
Select App Access: Choose to allow access to “All Apps” or select specific apps.
Start Session: Tap Start and hand the device to the guest within 5 minutes.
Pairing Nearby Device: If configured, the guest can use their nearby iPhone or iPad (iOS 26/iPadOS 26+) to load their own previous Guest User settings.
Guest Setup: The guest will be prompted to calibrate their eyes and hands (and adjust ZEISS Optical Inserts).
Key Guest User Features
- Data Protection: Guests cannot access your Apple Pay, passwords, or personal apps (unless permitted).
- Accessibility & Calibration: Guests can adjust accessibility settings, or redo eye/hand setup, without affecting your personal settings.
- Screen Mirroring: You can opt to mirror the guest’s view to your iPhone or iPad.
- Saving Sessions: Guests can save their settings to their own linked device for faster setup next time.
- Ending the Session: The session ends when the headset is taken off, or by selecting “End” in the Control Center.
