How to Let another person use your Apple Vision Pro with Guest User

/ Uncategorized / By

Sharing your Apple Vision Pro with others using the Guest User feature allows you to maintain control over which applications your guest can access, ensuring a personalized and secure experience. Here’s a comprehensive guide to facilitate this process:

Ensuring a Comfortable Fit for Your Guest

  1. Fit Adjustment: The Light Seal and headbands of the Apple Vision Pro are customized to your fit, which may not be ideal for everyone. Assist your guest in finding a better fit by offering them the option to try both the Solo Knit and Dual Loop Bands.
  2. Opt for Additional Accessories: For an enhanced experience, consider acquiring personal Light Seals and headbands available on Apple.com. Guests with specific vision needs might find wearing supported contact lenses beneficial or may opt for personalized ZEISS Optical Inserts for improved visual clarity.

Deciding on Guest Access

Before initiating a Guest User session, it’s important to decide the level of access you wish to provide:

  1. Full Access vs. Limited Access: Determine whether you want your guest to have full access to all apps and data or restricted access to only certain apps.
  2. Implementing Access Control:
    • Passcode Protection: Ensure your Apple Vision Pro is secured with a passcode. This adds a layer of security while sharing your device.
    • App Accessibility: Manually close any apps you do not want your guest to access and leave open those you wish to make available. This step allows you to curate the apps your guest can use during their session.

Step 4: Optional View Mirroring

  1. Enable View Mirroring (Optional): If you wish to see what your guest sees while using the Apple Vision Pro, tap on “View Mirroring”. Then, select a device from the menu that appears to mirror the view.

Guiding Your Guest Through Using Apple Vision Pro

When you share your Apple Vision Pro using the Guest User feature, your guest will have a tailored experience while ensuring your personal settings and data remain intact. Here’s how to navigate the process from the moment your guest puts on the device, through their usage, to the conclusion of their session.

Initial Setup for Your Guest

  1. Aligning the Displays: Upon wearing the Apple Vision Pro, your guest may be prompted to press and hold the Digital Crown until the displays align, indicated by a green check mark.
  2. Completing Hand and Eye Setup: Next, they’ll be guided through hand and eye setup processes. This ensures that the Apple Vision Pro accurately responds to their gestures and eye movements, providing a seamless interaction experience.

Using the Apple Vision Pro

  • Access to Apps and Data: Depending on your preferences set during the Guest User session setup, your guest can access either all apps and data on the device or only the apps you’ve specifically allowed.
  • Interaction with Apps: If guests are using allowed apps, they’ll have access to all information within those apps. For instance, using the Music app will reveal your playlists, favorite songs, and recently played tracks if you’re signed into Apple Music.

Ending the Guest User Session

  • Simple Conclusion: The Guest User session ends as soon as your guest removes the Apple Vision Pro. When you put on the device next, it will automatically revert to your personal hand and eye settings.

Restrictions and Accessibilities During Guest User Sessions

  • Restricted Access: Even with full access to apps and data, certain sections within the Settings app remain inaccessible to the guest, including Apple ID, Persona, and Wallet & Apple Pay.
  • Control Center Accessibility Settings:
    1. Opening Control Center: Your guest can open Control Center to adjust settings.
    2. Adjusting Accessibility: By tapping the Accessibility button Accessibility Button Apple Vision Pro next to Guest User, they can modify accessibility settings, redo their eye or hand setup, and access information about Guest User and privacy. These adjustments won’t affect your personal accessibility preferences.

By following these steps, you can easily share your Apple Vision Pro with guests, offering them a customized and controlled experience while ensuring your personal data and settings remain secure.
