Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Public release

Apple's dated security record places the public visionOS 26.2 appearance on 2025-12-12. This page covers that public release and does not project cumulative notes onto an earlier beta.[1][2]

What changed

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.[2]

Security and evidence boundary

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]
