Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

Release overview

visionOS 26.2 reached the public channel on December 12, 2025. visionOS 26.2 expanded Travel Mode beyond airplanes and trains, enabled hand-drawn input from supported spatial accessories in PencilKit apps, and brought structured tables to Freeform.[1][2]

Documented security record

Its advisory includes calling identity, hidden-photo authentication, kernel privilege, HID-device, privacy, and WebKit work. Apple's targeted-attack wording again concerns versions of iOS before iOS 26 rather than confirmed exploitation of visionOS 26.2.[3]
