Apple has already launched over 600 dedicated apps for Vision Pro, but that doesn't include some essential apps like YouTube, Netflix and Spotify. In January, YouTube announced that it will not be developing any native apps for Apple's Spatial Computer. Also, it won't allow its iPad apps to run on visionOS.

Interestingly, YouTube now backtracked on its stance of not having native support for visionOS. In a statement to The Verge, YouTube says it's excited about the launch of Apple Vision Pro and a dedicated visionOS app "is on the roadmap." However, it did not mention any specific timeline.

We're excited to see Vision Pro launch, and we're supporting it by making sure YouTube users have a great experience in Safari. We have no specific plans to share at this time, but can confirm that a Vision Pro app is on our roadmap.” – YouTube spokesperson
We all know that YouTube and its parent company Google are not quick to adopt the new Apple features. In fact, they have sometimes taken years to embrace the changes. So it's not clear and we can't even guess when Google will release a YouTube app for Vision Pro. It is worth knowing that Apollo developer Christian Selig has already launched an app called "Juno" to watch YouTube on Vision Pro. In addition, you can also watch YouTube videos using the Safari browser.
