Let others use your Apple Vision Pro
With Guest User, other people can use your Apple Vision Pro, and you can choose which apps they can use. Guests complete eye and hand setup when they put on Apple Vision Pro, but these settings will revert to yours when the Guest User session ends.
Note: Only one guest’s eye and hand data can be saved at a time. If they don’t use their eye and hand setup again within 30 days, they have to complete eye and hand setup again the next time they use Guest User. Your eye and hand setup is not affected.
In visionOS 2.4 and later, when a guest puts on Apple Vision Pro and requests Guest User access, you can start Guest User right from your nearby iPhone or iPad, without having to wear Apple Vision Pro first.
Guest users can’t access your Optic ID, Apple Pay, EyeSight, or Persona.
Important: Apple Vision Pro is designed to fit and be used by individuals 13 years of age or older.
Set up your nearby iPhone or iPad to allow guest access
If you have an iPhone with iOS 18.4 or later, or an iPad with iPadOS 18.4 or later, and it’s signed in to the same Apple Account as your Apple Vision Pro, you can allow guest access from the device when it’s nearby.
On your Apple Vision Pro, go to Settings
Tap Enable Guest User with Nearby Device.
Once you set up your iPhone or iPad, you can use it to start a Guest User session on your Apple Vision Pro.

If they previously saved their eye and hand data, they can choose it when they put on Apple Vision Pro.
