visionOS 2 brought a few important features to Apple Vision Pro users out there. However, one of the key expected functions was delayed from the original release of this software update. With visionOS 2.1, there was no sign of this feature being released.
Thankfully, in the first beta of visionOS 2.2, Apple added wide and ultrawide modes to Mac Virtual Display. Here’s what this feature is all about:
Using Mac Virtual Display is like having an expandable, ultrawide screen that wraps around you.1 It’s the equivalent of having two 4K displays sitting side by side — everything looks astoundingly sharp and incredibly detailed.
Currently, Apple Vision Pro users can mirror their Mac display into the spatial computing world. However, this visionOS 2.2 feature unlocks the new wide and ultrawide mode. Previously, users would have a standard view, which was already interesting.
Now, with an ultrawide view, Apple says it feels like you have two physical 4K displays sitting side by side on a desk, except you don’t have something limiting the two displays. This Apple Vision Pro feature is perfect for anyone multitasking on a Mac, and it feels better than having several windows floating around.

With this feature, you can open several apps at once and visualize them before you with Vision Pro’s incredible displays. Not only will this boost productivity, but it will also make this spatial computer a more compelling upgrade than two Studio Displays, as you can use it for more than just mirroring your Mac once you finish working.
Apple is expected to expand Mac Visual Display in early December when visionOS 2.2 is expected to be released to all users. While rumors about a new Vision Pro are contradictory, the latest reports expect Apple to update this product next year with a more capable processor, most likely the M5.
However, a revamped interaction is still a few years away. Below, you can learn more about visionOS and other Vision Pro features.
