After launching a dedicated Google Cardboard VR viewer app on iOS last year, Google today expanded the Cardboard content that iOS users have at their disposal.
Google today updated its YouTube app for iOS with Google Cardboard support, meaning that iPhone users can now watch any video in virtual reality using a Cardboard headset. To enable Cardboard mode, just start watching a YouTube video and tap the three-dot menu on the video itself, then select Cardboard.
Google Cardboard isn’t exactly the most high-end virtual reality experience around, but it does let you experience VR for an extremely low — and sometimes free — cost. Thanks to today’s YouTube update, iOS users with a Cardboard headset can now get more use out of it by watching any video on YouTube with their Cardboard.
Today’s v11.18 update also includes a fix for a bug that would show incorrect “Watched” labels in the Subscriptions feed.
