Summary
- Apple Intelligence may come to Vision Pro in April with visionOS 2.4.
- Initial features include Writing Tools, Genmoji, and Image Playground.
- Developer beta could reveal the impact and bugs of Apple Intelligence on Vision Pro.
Apple Intelligence support could be available on the Vision Pro as early as the spring alongside visionOS 2.4.
Apple Intelligence has steadily made its way to Apple’s suite of devices, including the iPhone, the iPad, and the Mac. However, the AI functionality has yet to come to the Vision Pro. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says visionOS 2.4 could be available in the coming months. With the software update, Apple will likely add Apple Intelligence and a new app for viewing spatial media.
Apple Vision Pro
The Vision Pro is Apple’s first-generation wearable or ‘spatial computing’ headset, powered by the M2 processor and the dedicated visionOS operating system.

Watching movies and TV shows in Apple’s Vision Pro is mesmerizing and tiring
The Vision Pro straps a movie theater to your face, but comfort and eye strain issues almost ruin the experience.
What could Apple Intelligence add to Vision Pro?
Genmoji, Image Playground, and more could be supported on Vision Pro
Reports claim that when Apple Intelligence comes to Vision Pro, a small assortment of features will be made available to users. Gurman says the first round of released features could include Writing Tools, Genmoji, and Image Playground. Much like the support on iPhone and other devices, users can utilize Writing Tools to improve messages. Genmoji and Image Playground are Apple Intelligence’s generative features for creating emojis and images.
Although Apple Intelligence is on its way for Vision Pro, it’s believed that there won’t be any changes made to Siri — at least to start. Instead, a “major AI overhaul” for Siri has been delayed. It’s unknown how long this delay will be or what AI-supported Siri feature might come in the future.

Apple’s Vision Pro can connect to non-Apple Bluetooth headphones, but there are some compromises.
A timeline of vision OS 2.4
We may have a better idea of Apple Intelligence’s scope on Vision Pro soon
The latest report states that developers may gain access to Apple Intelligence features on the Vision Pro “as soon as this week.” With this, it’s likely that we’ll start to see just how impactful the headset’s AI features will be for users. The developer beta can also shine a light on whether Apple Intelligence will have any bugs or hitches to work out prior to a wider release.
If Gurman’s reporting is correct, it won’t be long until users with a Vision Pro will have access to play around with visionOS 2.4. If the release is indeed slated for April, we won’t be waiting long. Apple Intelligence is unlikely to move the needle significantly on the wide-spread adoption of the Vision Pro. However, it will give existing owners a little more bang for their buck as far as software is concerned.
