Let another person use your Apple Vision Pro with Guest User

Use the Guest User feature to share your Apple Vision Pro with others and control which apps they can use.

Help your guest get a good fit

Because Apple Vision Pro Light Seal and head bands are fitted for you, your guest might not experience an optimal fit if they share these components. You can help your guest find a better fit by letting them try both the Solo Knit and Dual Loop Bands. You can find more tips for getting the best fit with Apple Vision Pro.

For the best possible experience, personal Light Seals and head bands are available to purchase as accessories from Apple.com. If your guest has vision needs, they might benefit from wearing supported contact lenses or purchasing personalized ZEISS Optical Inserts.

Apple Vision Pro is designed to fit and be used by individuals 13 years of age or older.

Decide how much access you want your guest to have, then start a Guest User session

Before you start a Guest User session, it's a good idea to decide whether you want your guest to have access to all apps and data on your Apple Vision Pro, or limit access to only the apps that are open.

If you want to limit access to apps

  1. Make sure that your Apple Vision Pro has a passcode set.

  2. Close any apps that you don't want your guest to use.

  3. Open any apps that you want to make available to your guest.

Start a Guest User session

  1. Open Control Center.

  2. Tap the Control Center buttonControl Center button to see more options.

  3. Tap the Guest User buttonGuest User button.

  4. In the Guest User window that appears, tap Allowed Apps.

  5. Choose Open Apps Only if you want to limit access, or choose All Apps & Data.

  6. Tap the back button, then tap View Mirroring if you want to see what your guest is seeing while using Apple Vision Pro. Select a device from the menu that appears.

  7. Tap the back button, then tap Start. A notification appears letting you know that you have five minutes to hand your device to your guest. If your guest doesn't put on Apple Vision Pro within five minutes, Guest User turns off and Apple Vision Pro locks.

Have your guest put on Apple Vision Pro

When your guest puts on Apple Vision Pro, they might first be asked to press and hold the Digital Crown until the displays align and a green check mark appears.

Next, if anyone else has used your Apple Vision Pro in the last 30 days and saved their personalized settings, your current guest is asked to choose between using those saved settings or setting up as a new guest. If your current guest was also the most recent guest user, they can choose those saved settings and begin using the device.

If your guest is a new user, they're asked to go through hand and eye setup so that Apple Vision Pro responds accurately to their input. Then your guest can choose to save their hand and eye data to make it more convenient if they use your device often. Only one guest-user setup can be saved; if a previous guest has saved their hand and eye data, that information is replaced when the current guest saves theirs.

When hand and eye setup are complete, your guest can begin using your Apple Vision Pro.

End a Guest User session

When your guest is finished using Apple Vision Pro, they can take off the device to end the Guest User session. The next time you put on Apple Vision Pro, it returns automatically to your personal hand and eye settings.

What's available during a Guest User session

When your guest is using your Apple Vision Pro, they have access to all apps and data on the device, or just the apps you've allowed. When a guest uses an allowed app, they have access to all the information in that app. For example, if they use the Music app and you're signed in to Apple Music, your guest can see your playlists, favorite songs, and recently played music.

During a Guest User session, your Persona, Optic ID, and Apple Pay are restricted. If you have a passcode on your Apple Vision Pro, areas in Settings such as Apple Account, Wallet, Health Data, and Privacy & Security are also unavailable. A guest can view health data that's stored in apps that you make available to them, and their health data may be saved if they use any of those apps.

Your guest can access some convenient settings in Control Center:

  1. Open Control Center.

  2. Tap the Accessibility buttonAccessibility button next to Guest User.

  3. In the menu that appears, your guest can choose to change accessibility settings, redo their eye or hand setup, and learn more about Guest User and privacy.

If your guest customizes accessibility settings and saves their profile, those adjustments stay in place next time they use your device. Accessibility settings that your guest configures don't affect your accessibility preferences.
