Turn Apple Vision Pro on or off
If your Apple Vision Pro isn’t working as expected, you can try restarting it by turning it off, then turning it back on. If turning it off and on doesn’t fix the issue, try forcing it to restart.
Turn on Apple Vision Pro
Do any of the following:
Press and hold the top button for a few seconds until the Apple logo appears on the front display.
If you disconnected the battery, simply connect it again—Apple Vision Pro turns on automatically.
When Apple Vision Pro is on and the battery is connected, it sleeps when you take it off, and wakes when you put it on. You don’t need to turn Apple Vision Pro on and off each time you want to use it.
Turn off Apple Vision Pro
Before you turn off Apple Vision Pro, always make sure any files you’re working on are saved.
Do any of the following:
Press and hold the top button and the Digital Crown, then drag the slider.
Go to the Settings app
, tap General, tap Shut Down, then drag the slider.Say, “Siri, turn off my Apple Vision Pro.”
Take off Apple Vision Pro, place it on a stable surface (like a table or desk), then disconnect the power cable from the Audio Strap.
Note: If it isn’t connected to power, Apple Vision Pro automatically shuts down after 48 hours of inactivity to preserve battery. (In visionOS 26 and earlier, Apple Vision Pro automatically shuts down after 24 hours of inactivity.)
