While YouTube is reportedly still working on how to get an official app for Apple’s Vision Pro, TikTok is ready and happily claiming the First! title between them two.
Yesterday, an official TikTok app was made available for the Vision Pro, so now you can spend hours and hours each day scrolling through videos, but in an immersive fashion.

Just be careful not to get too immersive – TikTok is already notorious for making five hours passing feel like just five minutes on a phone, we can’t imagine what it will be like on the headset, especially as you don’t have an obvious time indicator on it. So don’t be surprised if you plan on just opening TikTok for a few minutes only to find that your Vision Pro’s fully charged battery is now gone, and you haven’t left TikTok at all in the meantime.
TikTok actually beat both YouTube and Netflix to the Vision Pro punch. We’re curious to find out if consuming social media content is going to turn out to be one of the main use cases for the Vision Pro – after all, that is what phones get used most for these days, so why not?
