VR Games and Videos Dont Work on Safari After the New iOS update (16.5.1)

Just updated my iPhone to the latest version of iOS 16.5.1. It seems that the new update made it so that you can’t properly view VR Games and Videos on Safari anymore. It was working just fine yesterday but now it starts to bug out after you “configure” when the message “Configure your browser for VR

Safari needs to be configured to allow motion controls.” pops up. The VR games and videos start flipping around and don’t configure properly for anything VR to work. This is strictly a Safari issue from what I’ve noticed. Not entirely sure.


I have already gone to my iPhones “Settings” and went to “Accessibility” and made sure that under “Motion” the “Reduced Motion” was turned off. I also checked to make sure “low power mode” was off. Still these did not help.


Any ideas on when a fix will happen? Is there a way to reverse back to the previous version of iOS. I much preferred the 16.5 version. Any help/info is appreciated

iPhone 13 Pro Max
