Save your Apple Vision Pro setup to an iPhone or iPad

Learn how to save your Apple Vision Pro eye setup, hand setup, and ZEISS Optical Insert information to your iPhone or iPad. Then you can use this saved data for added convenience when you use someone else's Apple Vision Pro as a Guest User, or when you restore or set up your own Apple Vision Pro.

Before you start

Make sure your devices are up to date. Saving your Apple Vision Pro setup requires visionOS 26 or later. You also need iOS 26 or later on your iPhone, or iPadOS 26 or later on your iPad.

How to save your Apple Vision Pro setup as a guest

  1. Put on an Apple Vision Pro that someone has let you use, and begin a Guest User session.

  2. Bring your iPhone or iPad nearby. If you haven't saved your Apple Vision Pro setup before, a window appears on your iPhone or iPad that says No Saved Setup.

  3. Tap Start Setup. A window appears that says Look Here with Apple Vision Pro.

  4. Look at the code on your iPhone or iPad. When Apple Vision Pro recognizes your iPhone or iPad, a checkmark appears and a brief video introduces you to Apple Vision Pro.

  5. Go through the eye and hand setup process, then begin using Apple Vision Pro as a guest.

Your setup data, including eye and hand setup and ZEISS Optical Insert information, is saved on your iPhone or iPad for use next time you start a Guest User session. Your setup is also synced in iCloud so that you can use it across your Apple devices.

Save your Apple Vision Pro setup after you've started a Guest User session

If you begin a Guest User session without saving your setup data, you can save it to your iPhone or iPad while you're using Apple Vision Pro.

  1. Open Control Center in Apple Vision Pro.

  2. Tap Guest User on the right.

  3. Tap Save Setup to iPhone or iPad.

  4. Bring your iPhone or iPad nearby, then follow the onscreen instructions.

How to use your saved setup when you use Apple Vision Pro as a guest

  1. Put on an Apple Vision Pro that someone has let you use, and begin a Guest User session.

  3. Bring your iPhone or iPad nearby. An Apple Vision Pro window appears on your device.

  4. Tap Use Saved Setup.

  5. Look at the code on your iPhone or iPad. When Apple Vision Pro recognizes your iPhone or iPad, a checkmark appears.

  6. Begin using Apple Vision Pro as a guest.
