XREAL apps: the best apps for XREAL glasses
XREAL glasses are a wearable screen. XREAL One, Air 2 Ultra and the older Air models plug into a phone, laptop, handheld console or XREAL Beam over USB-C and show a large virtual display in front of you. Most apps you use are simply the apps on the connected device. On top of that, XREAL's own apps and a few AR apps add spatial features.

Common questions
Do XREAL glasses need an app?+–
Not for basic use. Any phone or computer with USB-C video output shows its screen on the glasses. XREAL's software adds firmware updates and features like anchored screens and ultrawide mode.
What is the XREAL app for Android and iPhone?+–
On Android, XREAL's GlassesControl app handles firmware updates and launches XREAL's 3D apps, replacing the older Nebula app. On iPhone there is no required app: the glasses mirror the screen over USB-C.
What apps work with XREAL One?+–
Anything on the device you connect it to. XREAL One has spatial features built into the glasses, so it needs less software on the phone than the older Air models.
Can I watch Netflix on XREAL glasses?+–
Yes, from a laptop or a phone that supports video output. Some streaming apps block mirroring on some phones, so a laptop or XREAL Beam is often more reliable.
Do XREAL glasses work with iPhone?+–
iPhone 15 and newer with USB-C connect directly. Older Lightning iPhones need Apple's adapter and a power source.
