Apple has released visionOS 2.4, watchOS 11.4, and tvOS 18.4 beta 4 to developers, bringing refinements and minor updates across Vision Pro, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. While visionOS 2.4 enhances spatial computing, watchOS 11.4 introduces new emojis, and tvOS 18.4 focuses on stability improvements ahead of the final release.
At the heart of these updates is the groundbreaking visionOS 2.4 beta 4, which introduces Apple Intelligence to the Vision Pro for the very first time. With integrated features like Writing Tools, Image Playground, Memory Movie, Clean Up tool, and even ChatGPT integration, users will soon be able to create, proofread, and manage content in a more dynamic and interactive way. The inclusion of a dedicated Spatial Gallery app adds a curated selection of spatial videos, photos, and panoramas to the mix, while the new Apple Vision Pro for iPhone app makes it effortless to manage and download apps, queue content, and even set up Guest Mode directly from your smartphone.
While visionOS 2.4 is taking center stage, updates to tvOS 18.4 are also notable. Though the changes aren’t as dramatic, enhancements to the Apple TV app have improved its design with a larger plus button for adding content to Watchlist, a more prominent display of episode release schedules, and refined fonts and icons throughout the interface. These adjustments, along with rumored new screensaver options and the potential addition of robot vacuum support, show that Apple is committed to fine-tuning its smart TV experience even if the main focus remains on behind-the-scenes improvements.
For watchOS 11.4 beta 4, the spotlight is on small yet meaningful enhancements, including the addition of seven new emoji that were previewed by Unicode. While Apple Intelligence isn’t available on the Apple Watch, the update continues to deliver incremental improvements for Siri and other core functionalities, building on past updates like watchOS 10.4, which brought its own set of emoji additions and performance tweaks.
In addition to these updates, Apple has seeded the fourth test versions of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS 15.4, underlining its commitment to a holistic and interconnected software ecosystem. With public release expected in early April, these beta updates are likely to become more stable and refined, ensuring that both developers and everyday users can enjoy a smoother, more intelligent experience on their devices.
