Use Apple Vision Pro on an airplane with Travel Mode
With Travel Mode, Apple Vision Pro adapts to give you the best experience while traveling on an airplane.
Apple Vision Pro uses an array of sensors to see the environment around you and keep the items in your view stable. If Apple Vision Pro senses that you're on an airplane, it asks if you want to turn on Travel Mode to adapt to the unique motion and environment of commercial air travel.
You can turn on Travel Mode when Apple Vision Pro suggests it, or any time in Control Center.
In some situations, Apple Vision Pro may think you're on an airplane when you're not, and prompt you to turn on Travel Mode. Remember to never use Travel Mode if you're not on an airplane.
