Apps you use cannot access information about your surroundings by default.
visionOS does not share information about who may be physically nearby with the apps and websites that you use, or with Apple.
Personas are generated entirely on-device, and associated data is encrypted.
Optic ID data for iris authentication is encrypted and never leaves the device.
You can limit the apps that someone else can interact with in Guest User mode to just those currently visible.More details are available in Apple’s document, shared earlier by 9to5Mac.
Apple privacy features available on visionOS include App Tracking Transparency, Advanced Data Protection, iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and more. iMessage Contact Key Verification was added in the visionOS 1.1 beta.
