Turn off Apple Vision Pro

Method 1: Go to the Vision Pro Settings app, select General, and then choose the Shut Down option. Slide to power off. Once the device is off, its screen will go completely dark, and then you can remove it from your face.

Method 2: Speak “Siri (or Hey Siri), turn off my Apple Vision Pro.”

Method 3: Press and hold the top button and the Digital Crown together. After two seconds, you will see the Force Quit Applications option. Continue holding both buttons until the power button slider becomes visible. Now, drag the slider to turn off your Apple Vision Pro.

Method 4: The final method, which we do not recommend, is to detach the battery power cable. This will cause a sudden shutdown, which could have adverse complications. So do not use this method. Instead, if your Vision Pro is not responding, learn how to force restart it.
