visionOS 2.2, tvOS 18.2, watchOS 11.2 beta 1 are now available, here's what to expect

Apple released three new betas today. The first developer beta is out for visionOS 2.2, tvOS 18.2, and watchOS 11.2. Here's what to expect.

Beta 1 Debuts with Expectations for New Vision Pro and Apple TV Features

Today's new betas are available to users with a developer account. They offer a first look at the new features and updates expected to be released to the public in December.

Last week’s public launches of visionOS 2.1, tvOS 18.1, and watchOS 11.1 didn’t include many new features. The biggest highlight was perhaps a small tvOS change to the Apple TV app that added a new Watchlist.

However, expect to see more additional features in today’s updates.

Apple announced several features for visionOS 2 and tvOS 18 that were supposed to be released before the end of the year, making these updates the place to get them.

For example, we’re still waiting for an updated Mac Virtual Display feature from the Vision Pro with support for an ultra-wide view and higher resolutions. This should be coming in visionOS 2.2, hopefully even in this first beta.

tvOS is still waiting for new screensavers, which are due out in late 2024. Coming soon are the TV and Movies screensavers, as well as a fun Snoopy screensaver – both of which are due in tvOS 18.2.

We'll keep you posted on new features we discover in new betas across all platforms.
